Forget the top 1%. It’s actually the top 0.14%

Posted on

This comes from Jim Henry's new work for the Tax Justice Network on global wealth and inequality:

It's the top 0.14% who make up the global elite. And almost half their wealth is offshore.

Everyone else has an average wealth of $1,600 each, and you can bet that even that is heavily skewed.

Inequality mnatters.

And tax can address the issue. Which is why this work was done.
