The New American: Increasing World Economic Equality Means Decreasing Life Quality — for Westerners - The New American
Increasing global competition in wealth creation is making it harder for Westerners to dominate in the wealth rankings as their relative purchasing power decreases. The Gini coefficient shows global inequality has been decreasing, down from 61.8 in 2013 to 60.1 in 2018. Branko Milanović, a leading expert on global inequality, says this is "a rather good outcome" as countries like China are closing the gap on Western wealth dominance. Milanović focuses on equality and measures success accordingly, arguing that a more equal world is a better world. However, this obsession with "equality" can be detrimental to widespread wealth creation.
