5. Wealth Inequality - STEPHEN
World's richest 1% own 40% of all wealth, UN report discovers
By:James Randerson
In this article James Randerson describes the current state of the allocation of wealth in a global context. As the title
might suggest the inequality seems overwhelming. The information upon which this article is founded comes from The
global study - from the World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations. Of the many stated
statistic in this article, the fact that "Half the world's adult population, however, owned barely 1% of global wealth.", is
probably the most horrific.
