Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
45% of the world’s wealth? Do these people not understand the difference between wealth and money? The real stuff, houses, roads, hospitals, cars (I don’t have one!), schools, food is still there at least for most of us in the first world. For those in the third world they may never have been there, of course. A lot of people have been deluding themselves about what wealth actually is. Yes, you are wealthy if you own your home, not because of the money it could be sold for but because you have a roof over your head!
Something weird has happenned to money and I still don’t feel I quite understand it but the problem is that people mistook money for something real and it isn’t. It is a claim on a share of the real wealth.
