Distribution of Wealth

Wealth and Poverty

Distribution of wealth is the process in which the wealth is shared amongst the people. Currently, in the world today, there is a chasm in terms of the gap between rich and poor and it’s getting worse with the rich getting richer and of course, the poor are getting poorer! It is blatantly unfair, inhumane, and unnecessary to horde most of the wealth between so few. In 2017 approximately 1% or 75 million of the 7.5 billion people in this world owned 50.1% of the world’s wealth. This was an increase from 45.5% in 2001. 
  • In 2017 the total wealth of the world was estimated at $280 trillion, $140 trillion owned by only 1% percent of the people.
  • Now in 2026 the total wealth of the world in almost $570 trillion – it has doubled in just less than 10 years!
  • At best only 2% of that increase has been delivered to the poorest amongst us - that is Disgraceful and Indefensible!
Despite a generally well-meaning education sector, and various religious institutions, the message is falling flat. 
We are told that “sharing is caring" and that we should be good and take care of our fellow man! 
That message is clearly falling on the deaf and uncaring ears of many of the people with the wealth and power which begs the question....
What messages are the Elite Rich and Wealthy listening to?
