After hearing and reading about the wealth inequality for some time, I found the following information www.MauldinEconomics.com quite enlightening.
"Let’s start with some good news. In 1820 some 94% of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty. By 1990 the figure was 35%, and in 2015 it was just 9.6%. Forty percent of those who remain impoverished live in just two countries, Nigeria and India, both of which are growing rapidly and will see their extreme poverty significantly decrease in the next 20 years."
If this change is true and I have no reason to disbelieve it, it is a remarkable change especially in the last 20 years. Have we lost sight of the tremendous improvements that have taken place in society? Are we asking for too much? When will it be enough?
