. >> but the report that stunned me came also this week from oxfam which showed us that the problem has gotten dramatically worse in in 2010 oxfam said wealthie people in the world with $1.3 trillion while the poorest half of the world $2.6 trillion. in 2014 the 80 richest had $1.9 trillion up 47% while the poorest half had just $1.8 trillion a decrease of 29%. oxfam showed in 2010 wealthiest 1% of the population enjoyed 44% of the world's wealth while the remaining 99% of the world's population had only 56% of the pie. by 2014 the richest 1% had 48% of global wealth leaving the rest with 42%. if that trend continues, the top 1% would own half the world's wealth in 2016 and 6% of global wealth in 2020 leaving the rest with just 46%. the world over 80 billionaires in 2014 had about the same amount of wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion people oxfam said. in the united states income inequality is especially bad thanks in part to what david leonard of the "new york times" calls the great wage slowdown of the 21st century. he notes that wages and incomes have been going virtually nowhere in the u.s. for the last 15 years
