On an individual level, it's worldwide (ie, the disparity between individuals is increasing, though the disparity between nations is decreasing; see https://unu.edu/news/news/global-income-inequality-up-or-down.html https://unu.edu/news/news/global-income-inequality-up-or-dow...). That doesn't mean we should throw the whole thing out, but it does mean we can't just take our hands off the wheel and let it run laissez faire.
