People get upset about America's wealth inequality - China's wealth inequality is several orders of magnitude worse.
Source? I'd like to see wealth (and income) inequality metrics for both countries.
- shingen 15y agoYou mean a country with 100 billionaires, the second largest economy, and 500 million people (40%) living on less than $2 per day? 130x million people living on $1 per day (both courtesy of the world bank)? 50% of the population without indoor plumbing (cia factbook)? Not hard to source the extremely dire statistics. They're plentiful. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8668086.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8668086.stm http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_06/b4214013648109.htm http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_06/b42140136...
