And it is constantly growing
Recently calculated that 82% of all money is in the hands of 1% of the world’s population. Moreover, the number of dollar billionaires is growing so fast that it simply can not be described – a new billionaire appears every two days.
It is important to note that the poor do not particularly rich. In the best case, the incomes of the poor remain in place. And this is fraught with certain consequences for the global economy.
What is such a stratification lead?
There may be several consequences:
The poor will continue to poor. The fact is that the poor layers of the population will have to continue to work on the corporation on rather strict conditions, including for a low salary (more on that below). All this will be required in order to earn in its existence.
Corporations will fall. The owners of the corporation are well aware that the demand for their products and services will fall due to a fall in income. Therefore, trying to receive more income (or at least leave them at the current level), they will continue to reduce salaries to their employees, as well as “squeeze” other costs for the production of their goods and services. Therefore, various social “buns” at work will be reduced. Production itself, most likely, will be carried out to third world countries, where small salaries.
The global economy will begin to degrade. Yes, this will not happen immediately and, perhaps, not during our life. However, everything is logical: the number of poor population will grow, the demand will fall. The companies will begin to bankrupt, and this, in turn, provoke even greater poverty, since people will be left without work.
Does this mean that there is a conspiracy of the rich against the poor?
No, not in any case. More than sure that there is no conspiracy. It’s just that the situation in the global economy has developed in such a way that first of all those who took monopoly positions in their areas are rich (mobile operators, for example). Having come first to the market, they were able to occupy a significant share of it, and then only build them up.
Perhaps in the foreseeable future the world economy is waiting for correction, and the rules of the game will change. When? It is difficult to say, but it is clear that the stratification cannot continue for an infinitely long time.
In general, I hope that everything will be fine and everyone will be happy.
