Global Inequality

Half of global income goes to the top eight percent of the population.  Branko Milanovic with the World Bank has an overview of global income inequality.  A UN sponsored report seeks to end extreme poverty by 2030.  There's also a video based on Milanovic's research that I find complementary to these previous videos.

Update (June 5):  George Ingram with Brookings praises the UN report.
