Oxfam International published its inequality report, finding it could take 230 years to end poverty. AdvertisementIt will take multiple centuries to end poverty at the rate we're going, according to a recently published report. Oxfam International published its inequality report this month, detailing a slew of grim predictions about the ever-widening wealth gap. Advertisement"To end extreme inequality, governments must radically redistribute the power of billionaires and corporations back to ordinary people," the report's authors concluded. AdvertisementThe participation of global governments in the initiative to decrease wealth inequality will determine whether the world lapses into a future of "billionaire supremacy" or public power, the Oxfam report concluded.

Climate catastrophes: Climate change is a hot topic as leaders meet to discuss balancing economic growth with sustainability. Davos comes just days after scientists around the globe reported that the average temperatures last year reached a new record high. The report also said that cooperation among global leaders on the issue is scarce. So while leaders will likely discuss the use of fossil fuels and green development, there may not be much agreement. Leaders gathered in Davos Sunday to discuss Ukrainian President Zelensky’s 10-point peace plan to end Russia’s war with his country.

His wealth soared to $245.5 billion at the end of November, up 737% from March 2020, after accounting for inflation. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had a fortune of $167.4 billion, up 24%; while Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s wealth totaled $145.5 billion, up 107%. US billionaires, many of whom derive their wealth from the equity in the companies they lead, are $1.6 trillion richer. Seven out of 10 of the world’s largest public companies have either a billionaire CEO or a billionaire as its principal shareholder. What’s more, the top 1% holds 43% of the world’s financial assets, according to Oxfam, drawing on data from Wealth X.

☆ Billionaires are collectively adding $2.7 billion to their fortunes daily — and their growing share of wealth shows trickle-down doesn't work
  + stars: | 2023-01-16 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | Madison Hoff | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
A new report from Oxfam looks at how much wealth billionaires have accumulated. The report finds billionaires are collectively adding $2.7 billion to their fortunes daily, as inflation eats up workers' wages. As top tax rates fell, billionaire wealth grew — and Oxfam says wealth taxes are one solution. That's based on the difference between billionaires' wealth from March 18, 2020, adjusted for inflation, and November 30, 2022. However, while wealth taxes are popular, they're unlikely to ever advance in the US.

The top 1% have captured nearly twice as much new wealth as the rest of the world during that period, according to Oxfam’s annual inequality report, released Sunday. At the start of the pandemic, global governments, particularly wealthier countries, poured trillions of dollars into their economies to prevent a collapse. It’s the first time that extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously in 25 years, said Oxfam. Tax the richTo counter this growing inequality, Oxfam is calling on governments to raise taxes on their wealthiest residents. Oxfam believes the rates on the top 1% should be high enough to significantly reduce their numbers and wealth.
