Human Writes: Inequality is a rot that ruins societies

It's obscene. What kind of world do we live in when the wealth of the world is increasingly being held by a handful of people?

The eight richest people own more wealth than the poorest 50% of the global population. Now, the latest report from anti-poverty charity Oxfam shows that the richest 1% swiped 82% of the wealth created last year. The poorest half of humanity got nothing. (Oxfam is an international confederation of charitable organisations working on alleviating global poverty.)
