2023 1% vs 80% Wealth Inequality Green Zones MAP - vs USA China Russia etc. [View all]

[LVZ]

People seem to be misinterpreting this map. So, to simplify:

1. In Canada, Australia, the U.K, Norway, Finland, Italy, Spain, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, countries in southeast South America and most of northern Africa there is a more fair distribution of wealth. The top 1% do NOT have more total wealth than the bottom 80% of their citizens.

2. In contrast, in the USA, Mexico, China, Russia, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Chile, Israel, most Arab countries, most of Europe, and most of the southern part of Africa, wealth distribution is more extreme: the top 1% have more total wealth than the bottom 80%.

3. Just because a nation in green has a less extreme wealth distribution does not mean that the government is necessarily more democratic or less corrupt or that its citizens are wealthier/poorer, etc.
