Interesting Statistics

  • Today's 1,125 billionaires hold more wealth than the wealth of half the world's adult population.
  • The wealthiest 7 people on earth control more wealth than the combined GDP of the 41 poorest nations.
Are we okay with this? Are the strict capitalist ready to argue that the rich people worked 3,000,000 times harder than the poor? Source: The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns, President of World Vision.
