Where to dissolve the gap between rich and poor?

Inequality will be the biggest problem in the next decade.

Do I need to counteract the increasing inequality in the welfare of people in the world? What role should the state play in this process? Able Is the market alone to deal with this defect ? 

The global elite do not seem to pay attention to the strides the gap between the incomes of rich and poor . And should this vexing problems emerging after the Second World War , to examine critically and to think towards its resolution.

Why? For the richest 1% of society holds half of the world wealth. It is this one percent of the world population has a net worth of 110 trillion. dollars, or 65 times more than the poorer half of humanity .

The general condition of even the 85 richest people in the world equals that of the poorest 3.5 billion people on the planet .

Definitely such concentration of economic resources in the hands of the few places a significant threat to the political and economic systems. Increase both social pressure and thus the risk of disintegration of society.

Recent evidence in our country the income of the richest 20% are on average 6.5 times higher than the income of the poorest 20 %.

Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz cites Brazil and Scandinavia . According to him, there are income more evenly distributed than the U.S. . For example, in Brazil in the last 20 years, management has made significant progress in reducing poverty and inequality.

In the largest economy - the United States, since 1980 the state 's richest one percent of Americans has doubled . The richest 1% hold 25% of the country's wealth . Joseph Stiglitz says that even the middle class in the U.S. is gone.

Other studies have made ​​it even more frightening conclusion - inequality in the U.S. is the largest since 1928 !

Inequality will be the biggest problem in the next decade

The question may be looking at from another angle - you already lost decade trying to understand the issues? Did not seem to talk much about inequality. As a whole, not just at the elite Davos.

It says  : the banks are to blame for the financial crisis , let them enforce regulations. Government debt soared to the heavens , let's introduce austerity economies. And even more simply - there is unemployment, let's create jobs. I.e. in one way or another problem finds its solution.

Yes , but there are unequal , why not talk about it? The global elite is clearly not concerned about this ?

Among a number of recommendations to reduce inequality are a ban on the use of offshore accounts by which to avoid taxes, business leaders begin to support progressive taxation and increase wages in enterprises to a level of normal life.

And so, but the truth is more shocking and thought should be directed in another direction - not only in the regulation of the financial sector , for example.

It's about equal opportunity. Currently in many countries around the world the chances of a child depends on parental income greater extent. Even equal chance to be more difficult to achieve , the agenda should be put equal opportunities - children and the poor and the rich to start the race from a starting line .
