La Terrible Desigualdad según OXFAM y el Debate

Este reporte publicado por Oxfam UK (felicidades a Ricardo fuentes, economista en jefe de Oxfam y ex CIDE) sobre la desigualdad en el mundo ha tenido un tremendo impacto en los medios y causado interesantes reacciones.

" Almost half of the world’s wealth is now owned by just one percent of the population.2 • The wealth of the one percent richest people in the world amounts to $110 trillion. That’s 65 times the total wealth of the bottom half of the world’s population.3 • The bottom half of the world’s population owns the same as the richest 85 people in the world.4 • Seven out of ten people live in countries where economic inequality has increased in the last 30 years.5 • The richest one percent increased their share of income in 24 out of 26 countries for which we have data between 1980 and 2012.6 • In the US, the wealthiest one percent captured 95 percent of post-financial crisis growth since 2009, while the bottom 90 percent became poorer."

Es un gran reporte y me gusta.....

Pero también existen reacciones críticas como la señalada en este post Why the much-hyped Oxfam study on global inequality is misleading

que comparto en aras de provocar debate como es la costumbre de este blog
