I read an article in the Guardian today that had a little stat in it that said that the richest 1% in the US own 43% whilst the richest 1% of Greeks only own 9%.[1] I wouldn't have thought that the contrast is SO big between countries. I agree however that the real stats are not as important as how they are spun and represented regarding the influence on public opinion. I also agree that something's (and with that I mean the rich) gotta give sooner rather than later unless growth alone will help everyone up sufficiently (which I don't think it will, especially with climate crisis looming).
