The inequality crisis is worsening. Oxfam found that the world's richest 42 people own the same as 50% of the poorest people. The largest increase of billionaires in history occurred in 2017.
82% of the new wealth created went to the top 1% and none went to the poorest 50%. The fortunes of the super rich increased by $762 billion in the year period since March 2017.
The concentration of extreme wealth at the top is not a sign of a thriving economy but a symptom of a system that is failing the majority of the population.
