Inequality is not decreasing by all measures, for example: "Income inequality in OECD countries is at its highest level for the past half century." [1] While it is true that global inequality might be decreasing, localised levels are important, especially when existing in regions which might be considered "economic drivers"; because it has important implications for the stability of those regions, and this is highly likely to affect the continuation of the global trend for reduced inequality.
