Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Since 2015, the richest 1% owns more than the rest of humanity. Eight mega-billionaires are as wealthy as humanity’s 3.6 poorest.
“Over the next 20 years, 500 people will hand over $2.1 trillion to their heirs - a sum larger than the GDP of India, a country of 1.3 billion people.”
From 1988 - 2011, the incomes of humanity’s poorest 10% increased by less than $3 a year - less than nothing when adjusted for inflation.
Over the same period, the incomes of humanity’s richest 1% increased 182 times as much.
“A FTSE-100 CEO earns as much in a year as 10,000 people in working in garment factories in Bangladesh. A Dow CEO likely earns as much as 20,000 or 30,000 impoverished third-world workers.
Over the last 30 years, income growth of the world’s bottom 50% was zero. The top 1% tripled their income over the same period.
“In Vietnam, the country’s richest man earns more in a day than the poorest earns in 10 years.”
Super-wealth in the hands of a select few used to make obscene greater amounts is incompatible with peace, equity and justice - what so-called Western civilization abhors, exploiting the many by every means imaginable for greater riches, war-profiteering a favorite way.
Mass slaughter and destruction enriches them, unspeakable human misery considered a small price to pay.
Here’s the Oxfam infamous 8:
Bill Gates: Net worth $75 billion
Amancio Ortega: NW $67 billion
Warren Buffet: NW $60.8 billion
Carlos Slim: NW $50 billion
Jeff Bezos: NW $45.2 billion
Mark Zuckerberg: NW $44.6 billion
Larry Ellison: NW $43.6 billion
Michael Bloomberg: NW $40 billion
Beyond the infamous 8, the two Koch brothers have a net worth of nearly $80 billion. The world’s billionaire class in total has a staggering net worth of $6.5 trillion.
