Charity calls for 1% wealth tax, saying it would raise enough to educate every child not in school Via Graham Watson
Graham Watson's curator insight,

Basics. The annual Oxfam look at global inequality: the world's 26 richest people own as much as the poorest 50%.
It's a staggering figure and Oxfam make a great deal of the fact that a 1% wealth tax could educate every child not in school and help prevent 3 million deaths.
I wonder if the 26 people identified go to bed at night thinking of that. |
Things must be bad - the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, has suggested that rising inequality across the globe is a concern, and the way to counter this is via well targeted social spending on education and health, trying to ensure sustainable growth.
