"Are the rich today richer than ever? This episode shows how the gap between rich and poor has developed over the millennia. How did the rich get richer? And can the trend be reversed?"
Where you learn that: - today you need the accumulated wealth of 4,000,000,000 people to match the wealth of 12 people. - if wealth was measured in cm/in, most Germans are within 30cm/12in while the richest Germans reach 20km/12 miles. -of course it's political.
@aSweetGentleman even if we know the rich are rich, it's always difficult to feel "at what point" because their wealth, the numbers are so high How to represent million when we can't get thousand (or very hardly) dollars/euro
How can we understand the amount of possession (when they buy some compagny) when we hardly can buy food for ourselves ?
Some people like us are crazy about those rich people... like they are some life-goal, but it can't be, because they did not work to get all of this money. Their parents or grandparents maybe, for some of them. The majority stole the money of the real workers and continue to steal. It is all the stolen money since century that is our, not their. When will we get it back ?
