Richest 85 people across the globe own as such as poorest half the world population

This is how much increase in wealth concentrated by the rich since 1980


This is the state of wealth of the rich in each of the counties listed.

"Without a concerted effort to tackle inequality, the cascade of privilege and of disadvantage will continue down the generations. We will soon live in a world where equality of opportunity is just a dream. In too many countries economic growth already amounts to little more than a 'winner takes all' windfall for the richest."

Not a surprise!!
Nowdays people buy handphone/furniture/appliance/holiday package/................................are all on installment.
I wonder if they retrench and company pay 1~2 month salary package as them immediate leave. What will happen to the installment.
Few hundred $$ or few thousand also need installment.They thinking every month fix salary will appear in their bank account never thinking of company bust/retrench.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Life is what you make of it and hardworking, innovative and driven individuals are entitled to their just rewards.

In the meantime the average human being contributes next to nothing to the betterment of society and is paid accordingly.
