- codyb 7y agoI think it’s 320 million people but that’s just being pedantic. One thing you could compare it to is America four decades ago. Wealth inequality in America seems to fluctuate, there was the gilded age which was greatly unequal, then we tampered it down with very progressive tax codes which we’ve since been slashing away at to produce what you see today (there are other factors as we of course). Europe has many areas which are far more egalitarian than America but you’re almost certainly correct that the vast majority of Earth’s 7.whatever billion inhabitants live in deeply unequal societies.
