Eight men own the same wealth as the 3.6 billion people who make up the poorest half of humanity, according to a new report published by Oxfam today to mark the annual meeting of political and business leaders in Davos.
Oxfam’s report, ‘An economy for the 99 percent’, shows that the gap between rich and poor is far greater than had been feared. It details how big business and the super-rich are fuelling the inequality crisis by dodging taxes, driving down wages and using their power to influence politics. It calls for a fundamental change in the way we manage our economies so that they work for all people, and not just a fortunate few.
New and better data on the distribution of global wealth – particularly in India and China – indicates that the poorest half of the world has less wealth than had been previously thought. Had this new data been available last year, it would have shown that nine billionaires owned the same wealth as the poorest half of the planet, and not 62, as Oxfam calculated at the time.

But the poor's are too many to handle, i am really impress on what they have done but really they can't many countries are living in a poor life but its okay because we have a fair world to live in but money cannot solve the poor people its their choice of life money can't buy you happiness you know
poor people tend to be poor because they like it but still its a hard life puberty is the main source of being poor having more children and get pregnant on an early age >.< its the government that will solve the poor not money >.<
