📈Inequality is rising. As #G20 meets, our @ksjomo.bsky.social lays out the facts:

⚖️Top 10% own 74% of wealth
💰1% gained 41% of new wealth since 2000
🏥 Public assets are shrinking

Inequality isn’t inevitable – it’s a policy choice.

“There is now a consensus that inequality is detrimental to economic progress, and reducing inequality is better for the economy. “Yet no serious effort has been made by the G20, IMF, or OECD to reduce it.” Jomo Kwame Sundaram / IPES-Food
