Regular
reports on the growing Poverty, Unemployment, Debt and Inequality of
the neo-capitalist world
Global:
"The
most striking feature is the contrast in experience before and after
the financial crisis. In the period from 2000 to 2007, 12 countries
saw a rise in inequality while 34 recorded a reduction. Between 2007
and 2014, the overall pattern reversed: wealth inequality rose in 35
countries and fell in only 11."
“Taken
together, the bottom half of the global population own less than 1%
of total wealth. In sharp contrast, the richest decile hold 87% of
the world’s wealth, and the top percentile alone account for 48.2%
of global assets,”
“These
figures give more evidence that inequality is extreme and growing,
and that economic recovery following the financial crisis has been
skewed in favour of the wealthiest. In poor countries, rising
inequality means the difference between children getting the chance
to go to school and sick people getting life saving medicines,”
“...
while inequality had increased in many countries outside the G7,
within the group of most developed economies it was only in the UK
that inequality had risen since the turn of the century.”
