TIL that wealth inequality within countries is increasing, but between countries it's decreasing.
Poor countries are catching up and getting richer faster than the rich countries are - and the accumulation of wealth by the global top 10% is actually decreasing, while the wealth of the bottom 50% is on the rise.
Rich people in poor countries get richer. That‘s all.
I was hoping you'd be wrong so I looked into it and while that's not the whole story, it's not entirely wrong either.
Damn, and I thought I was bringing in good news.
As the saying goes, there is no war but class war.
There should only be class wars, but unfortunately I doubt the Russian invasion is a class war.
Who do you think is getting drafted into the Russian army and who do you think will profit of the businesses and resource extraction in the occupied Ukrainian territories?
Sure. Russian oligarchs need support for their system without trying to provide for a better life for their citizens.
