If the world were a village of 100 people...
... 6 of the people would control 59% of the village's wealth. And the 6 all come from the USA.
The bottom 20% have to make do with a mere 2% of the village's wealth.
I wonder if, in a village of a mere 100 people, such a vast wealth discrepancy would be tolerated?
Toby Ng has created a series of drawing based on this theme which are real eye openers and well worth a look.
Hat tip to Andrew Sullivan.
