The Debate – 1% (Greater than) 99% (Jan 19th)

The financial inequality across the globe has reached new extremes. The international charity -Oxfam- in its latest report “An Economy for the 1%" has a shocking revelation: "Runaway inequality has created a world where 62 people own as much wealth as the poorest half of the world's population.” Imagine that. Only five years earlier it took 388 of the world’s richest to reach that mark. Extreme inequality: that is the topic for this edition of the debate.
