"Inequality is a killer, contributing to the deaths of at least 21,300 people
each day. That’s one person every four seconds. This is not by chance, but by
choice.
During the first two years of the pandemic the world’s ten richest men more
than doubled their fortunes to $1.9 trillion, while over 160 million more
people were forced into poverty.
We need governments to prioritise addressing inequality in economic rescue and
recovery efforts. They should tax the gains of the super-rich during this
pandemic and redirect that wealth to save lives and invest in our futures. And
they must redistribute power and rewrite the economic rules that created such
violent, colossal divides in the first place. We saw great ambition to build
fairer societies in the wake of World War 2—why not now?"
