English is not my native language but as far as I understand, the paragraph after which you stopped reading, clearly stated that inequality is the consequence by saying "Growing inequality resulted in 82 per cent of new global wealth going to the richest 1 per cent last year..." as opposed to using the word "caused".
Why not finish reading the article after this major gripe is cleared up then?
- cs702 9y agoThanks. Your understanding is incorrect. The words "resulted in" mean caused something to happen: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/result%20in https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/result%20in To specify causality in the other direction, the article should have used words like "resulted from," "was caused by," or "was a consequence of," for instance.
