Inequality: how wealth is distributed in the UK
New polling by Inequality Briefing suggests that most people perceive the distribution of wealth in the UK to be far more equal than it actually is. In fact, for more than 30 years the gap between the richest and the rest has widened - and the trend shows no sign of slowing, as this animation by the organisation makes clear- published: 08 Oct 2013

Waters Discusses Growing Income Inequality
Waters Discusses Growing Income Inequality
"I want to thank Chairman Hensarling for holding this hearing, and I am delighted to welcome you, Secretary Lew, before our Committee today to testify on the state of the international financial system. I would like to discuss what I believe to be one of the biggest social, economic and political challenges we face today, both domestically and internationally -- and that is the problem of growing inequality. Over the past 30 years, income inequality in the United States has been steadily increasing. This was the case even during periods of growth. Before the financial crisis, levels of inequality in the U.S. reached peaks not seen since the late 1920s. While other advanced and emerging market economies have also experienced rising income inequality, the most shocking shortcomings are right here in the United States, which has the highest level of inequality of any advanced industrial nation. In fact, today, 20 percent of the income in our country goes to the top 1 percent of Americans. If you look at inequality of wealth, it's even worse. The top 1 percent holds about 40 percent of the country's wealth. The gap between the rich and the poor in America has become a chasm. Moreover, the gains from growth during the recent recovery have accrued overwhelmingly to the wealthiest people in society. Almost 95 percent of the income gains since the recovery began have been captured by the top 1 percent. This means that the most unequal advanced industrial economy in the world is becoming even more so. I recognize that in a capitalist system, some degree of inequality is necessary for the function of a market economy, since it creates incentives to work hard and take risks. But left entirely to its own, the market system will produce more inequality than is economically necessary. And here in America, we have much more inequality than is necessary for efficiency. I believe this is a moral problem, from the standpoint of social equity. But excessive inequality not only undermines social and political cohesion, it has also recently been shown to have negative effects on growth and stability as well. Recent research at the IMF has shown that excessive inequality slows growth because depressed earnings lead to weaker demand and lower consumption. Reducing inequality is increasingly understood to contribute to economic growth. Inequality is also a political problem. We now have an increasing degree of resistance on the part of many Americans to new trade agreements because they see themselves as victims of globalization -- rather than as participants in its benefits. I believe our international economic policy has, in fact, been too one-sided -- too focused on elevating the interests and mobility of capital over all other considerations. This was based on the misguided belief that unfettered markets would not only create wealth and stability, but would also trickle benefits down to others in society. But this isn't what has happened. In fact, one of the most important lessons we have learned from the recent financial crisis is that markets must be deeply embedded in systems of governance. The idea that markets are efficient and self-correcting has received a mortal blow. I believe in capitalism, and I believe that the markets are the main engines of wealth creation in our country and elsewhere. But in order to be truly supportive of the free market, I believe you must also be supportive of government. This is because we need to have an appropriate set of public policies in place to reign in the excesses of the market, to help maintain stability, and to ensure that the benefits of capitalism and growth are broadly shared. We need to do a better job of dealing with equity questions at home. For example, we should be increasing the minimum wage, extending unemployment insurance, and providing trade adjustment and other assistance for those in the U.S. clustered in the low-skill end -- who are disadvantaged by globalization. Until we do that, and people begin to feel secure at home, we will not have the political support we need for a more active engagement by the United States with the international economy."- published: 12 Dec 2013

New : Inequality in america
New : Inequality in america
Income inequality in the United States has grown significantly since the early 1970s,[1][2][3][4][5] after several decades of stability,[6][7] and has been the subject of study of many scholars and institutions. While inequality has risen among most developed countries, and especially English-speaking ones, it is highest in the United States.[8][9][10] Income inequality (as measured by the Gini coefficient) is not uniform among the states: after-tax income inequality in 2009 was greatest in Texas and lowest in Maine.[11] Most of the growth has been between the middle class and top earners, with the disparity becoming more extreme the further one goes up in the income distribution.[12] A 2011 study by the CBO[13] found that the top earning 1 percent of households increased their income by about 275% after federal taxes and income transfers over a period between 1979 and 2007, compared to a gain of just under 40% for the 60 percent in the middle of America's income distribution.[13] Other sources find that the trend has continued since then.[14] In spite of this data, only 42% of Americans think inequality has increased in the past ten years.[15] In 2012, the gap between the richest 1 percent and the remaining 99 percent was the widest it's been since the 1920s.[16] Incomes of the wealthiest 1 percent rose nearly 20 percent, whereas the income of the remaining 99 percent rose 1 percent in comparison.[16] Scholars and others differ as to the causes, solutions, and the significance of the trend,[17] which in 2011 helped ignite the "Occupy" protest movement. Education and increased demand for skilled labor are often cited as causes,[18] some have emphasized the importance of public policy; others believe the cause(s) of inequality's rise are not well understood.[13] Inequality has been described both as irrelevant in the face of economic opportunity (or social mobility) in America, and as a cause of the decline in that opportunity.[19][20][21] Yale professor and economist Robert J. Shiller, who was among three Americans who won the Nobel prize for economics in 2013, believes that rising economic inequality in the United States and other countries is "the most important problem that we are facing now today."[22] Pope Francis echoed this sentiment in his Evangelii Gaudium, stating that "as long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world's problems or, for that matter, to any problems."[23] President Barack Obama referred to the widening income gap as the "defining challenge of our time."[24]- published: 04 Jan 2014
