Source: The Economist
It is hard to imagine that 421 people alone hold net worth equal to 10.5 percent of what a population of 330 million working together can produce in a year!

According to The Economist:

In all sections of society, there is growing agreement that the world is becoming more unequal, and that today’s disparities and their likely trajectory are dangerous.
