"The real engine of inequality is structural: corporate and financial practices that concentrate wealth among shareholders while shortchanging other stakeholders who should be benefiting from corporate profits—and too often creating little of real value to society."

Richest 1% has more wealth than 70% of UK population combined.

Top 20% own two-thirds of wealth, receive 36% of income.

Bottom 20% own 0.5% of wealth, receive 9% of income.

Can't grow economy or have social stability.

Poverty is political choice. Which political party wants to address this?
The government must ensure fair distribution of income
'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

Canadians are fixated on real estate and finance when what we really need is to build more stuff
As asset prices rise faster than wages, Canadian talent is following the money, writes Danny Parys. Unfortunately, that money is shifting toward non-producing sectors of the Canadian economy.

Egg prices keep climbing, reflecting systemic inequities. Policies, lack of regulation, & corporate greed push essentials out of reach. Bitcoin disrupts this—no Wall Street middlemen, no price manipulation. Financial inclusion starts here. DYOR. #Bitcoin #WealthEquality

See ya Felicia! You probably didn’t pay your fair share of tax anyway & doubtless maximised every loophole going. As did your businesses no doubt. So off you fuck. #nooneneedstobeabillionaire

How’s the U.S. economy?

Not bad if you’re rich.

Same in 🍁: over the past year, the richest households have been rapidly multiplying their wealth, while those with tighter budgets struggle to get ahead.

Read their stories.

"Instead of reinvesting profits into expansion, hiring + innovation, many companies now focus on stock buybacks and dividends, prioritizing financial payouts that boost share prices and managerial $. The result is a vicious cycle of rising inequality, damped demand and low growth."

The OSC wants to give retail investors access to private markets. Sounds good!? But look closer, and it starts to look like offloading risk onto people with the least power to absorb it.

One of the reasons why a fundamental aspect of #Solarpunk has to be #wealthequality. Still, many people around the world still live in similar conditions, and the trend is to greater inequality and adulation for the men who hoard. youtu.be/nGVIHIT1NkU?...

In Canada, buying homes as investment properties has become one of the quickest ways to build wealth. This has:

- made homes more expensive
- pushed a generation out of homeownership
- funneled capital away from productive sectors into real estate speculation
