A l’échelle mondiale, je fais partie de ces « one percenters », et le jour où ça va exploser, je serai certainement parmi ceux qui devront en assumer la responsabilité si je ne suis pas déjà mort.
Mon intérêt immédiat serait donc plutôt de perpétuer ce système en attendant la mort ...

“Their lot in life has improved considerably. Twenty-five years ago, the corresponding figures were 12 percent and 33 percent.”

Americans have been watching protests against oppressive regimes that concentrate massive wealth in the hands of an elite few. Yet in our own democracy, 1 percent of the people take nearly a quarter of the nation’s income—an inequality even the wealthy will come to regret.
l’article de Stiglitz est bien plus interessant, d’ailleurs ...
