kind of human being i mean if that's historically like that but unfortunately due to the title but not on you know physically of other structures we're kind of broken but most associated our social values were damaged not only this one plan for the damage to our structures and infrastructures but it unfortunately damaged a lot of values to some.
11:01 pm
f.o.c. i played golf. like a bull in a china shop donald trump style and negotiation skills were on full display at this year's annual nato gathering he was not shy about how he feels about the alliance now the trump summit is front and center be a mere photo op or something more. and
11:02 pm
now we take a more global view about inequality from a national perspective to help us along we are joined by the c.e.o. of drop marker from hillary ward which it's good of you to be with us thank you so much now tell me tell or about what are the wealthiest nations and sort of the
11:03 pm
poorest nations i want to take g.d.p. by g.d.p. right a great to be about thank you so the wealthiest nations are outside of the u.s. that is china germany japan and closely followed by the u.k. the poorest nation actually probably not many of our viewers have maybe even heard of a tuvalu which used to be former ellis island in the polynesian islands but the poorest nations are actually a lot of the former communist countries and sub-saharan africa and then good and then in the middle east the big bright star of course is saudi arabia ok and. if you look at growth rates in the different regions you know a sure. how are they looking for the growth rates going forward yes and some of the hot spots coming up actually there are some of the emerging nations and then there are just growth rates so one of the most outstanding growth rates that continues as outpaced all nations actually is australia and that's really due to their brilliant immigration policies to get into australia i mean you have to have
11:04 pm
a certain network you have to come with certain skills they have not been stupid about that and most importantly they had a mining boom where they were mining coal and iron ore that they were shipping to all the factories in the nation so there's a great growth rate some of the emerging nations where there's a men's growth are you've got the some of the. in the pacific basically all the countries right then you have argentina you have indonesia india india is projected to have a seven percent growth rate seven point nine next year really yes and then actually you know you they overtook china by just two percentage or two points that don't sort of present exactly as they did yes and it is in india and that's a lot of the. everybody of course in the u.k. we things well it's because they can speak english but they've actually been a pretty have a lot of those outsourcing call centers but a lot of global business they've always had a very global outlook on the fiscal stimulus has been as a also very smart but also as you jim o'neill the former chairman of morgan stanley in two thousand and one he used to call them the bric nations and that was brazil russia india china and sub-saharan africa i think some of the emerging nations in
11:05 pm
sub-saharan africa is somewhere to look because of course there's a great percentage opportunity for growth and a lot of the the raw commodities which are more in demand now it's very interesting we did some the other day on australia which hasn't been in recession you know twenty five years or some but the youngest of any developed nation so our history went out so even the netherlands crazy crazy us i guess is pretty difficult to predict what's going on given the current circumstance. but you know what sort of trends do you see there in or does it leave it were you know i think of trade was on healthy but i think there's going to be an even ing out i think the one thing that's concerning globally in terms of inequality is the tremendous gap actually in skills skilled labor the good news is inequality actually is the lowest it's been since one thousand nine hundred one it pete forty four percent of the world was below the abject positive positive level in eighty one do you know it's less than
11:06 pm
ten percent today so that's actually good news in terms of inequality but the inequality is with in nations there's this technology gap between skilled labor and unskilled labor and that actually accounts for a lot of the nationalistic vote a populist vote like bricks it in the u.k. populism both here in the us do to try to trump and that's what's accounted for inequality inside of nations is actually more concerning than global inequality which to me ask you for a go the you know when you're when you're don't have a good economy it leads to all sorts of. including terrorism on roast and everything yes people. around the world hillary what are the real slow g.d.p. countries that we you know heaven forbid predict any problems in those countries and what are the ones that sort of stick out to you well i mean obviously i mean we've had a disaster in syria and that's been a lot of course because of the drought i'm so i think you've got actually global warming trends have affected some of that and it's really obviously in the middle east where you have colliding factors i think robust employment begets robust
11:07 pm
economies and therefore of course robust stability instability if you think about many years ago in the sixty's those instability in northern ireland why the economy was disastrous now the northern irish economy is strong and that keeps stability so i would think anywhere where there is abject poverty and that will be places in the middle east so you have strong mark word for which thank you for coming in your labor market absolutely anytime. one might ask where is the the definitively wealthiest place in the united states well our to correspondent treaty charges looked and went there for the special report beverly hills nine zero two one zero used to be america's most recognizable zip code but that's all changing now america's richest code is based on an island word so exclusive you need an invitation to get there in
11:08 pm

who want to raise their children there are about five hundred residents ranging from royalty to professional athletes to business executives and while only about twenty percent of them reside on the island full time. if the island's exclusivities that attracts people from all over the world we have about thirty seven different nationalities and fishes. we have about fifty percent u.s. twenty five percent is from thousand america we have a lot of russian. course so it's true that you can truly call home and it has pretty much all the ingredients that. reflect that if you want whose income bracket the average income for fisher island members was a whopping two want to half a million dollars in two thousand and fifteen that's one million dollars more than the second place spot held by zip code nine four zero two seven in silicon valley
11:10 pm
meanwhile new york represents a quarter of the top one percent of households nationwide and california accounts for eighty five percent of the riches of codes in the west but while neighborhoods in the new york tri state area and california make up the majority of the top which is the codes in america the favorable tax structures in florida and in wyoming are drawing the wealthy to according to the report since two thousand and ten the average income in most wilson road wyoming has increased more than seventy five percent making it the fourteenth which is that code in the country and then of course the south is home to the richest code in all of america fisher island and now in order to live on the shore island you do have to pay a membership fee of a quarter million dollars and nothing including the annual fee that comes after that but you don't have to be a millionaire to enjoy this luxurious place they do have a hotel on the property and they welcome everyone from around the world reporting from fisher island trinity each other.
