The Richest 1% Are Getting Richer
1%的超级巨富越来越富
Oxfam, an anti-poverty charity, released a new report that confirms that the gap between the rich and the poor is getting worse. Based on current trends, the richest 1% of the world’s people, also known as the super rich, will have over 50% of the world’s wealth by 2016. Oxfam’s definition of an individual’s wealth is the value of one’s assets minus the total of one’s debts. Income was not included as a measure of one’s wealth for the purpose of this study. The average American in this exclusive group of the super rich had an average wealth of 2.7 million dollars in 2014. Oxfam says that protecting a nation’s natural wealth, such as oil, mineral and gas wealth, is one solution to reducing this economic gap.
对抗贫困基金会乐施会发布了最新报告，报告证实贫富差距问题正在日益严重。根据如今的发展趋势，世界之富占据了全球1%的人口，到2016年他们对财富的占有率将超过50%。乐施会对个人财富的定义为个人财富价值减去个人总债款。为了这项研究，人们并没有将收入囊括在衡量个人财富之中。2014年，美国最富人群的平均财富为2700万美金。乐施会称保护例如像石油、矿产以及天然气等自然财富是减轻贫富差距的手段之一。
