Wealth since the fiscal crisis

mercredi 5 septembre 2018 à 02:00

In the 10 years since the fiscal crisis, the richest 10% of Americans have gained 30 trillion dollars in wealth. Meanwhile, the poorer half of Americans have lost around half a trillion in wealth — from an average of $11,000 per person to $8,000 per person, a loss of over 25%.

Thus, the new wealth created in the US since 2008 has gone entirely to the rich, and they have taken what the poor could not spare. This is dooH niboR at work.
