OK, but globally inequality isn't growing, by many measures. Hans Rosling illustrated that this week[1].
World income now fits a more continuous curve compared to the rich- and poor- of the past. World equality has presumably been helped by out-sourcing: it's just that some of the 'equality' is no longer owned by the West.
