What strikes me as interesting is if we could determine just how many rich individuals own more than the rest of the World's populace put together. Please allow me to spell this out for clarity: If there are as we are told, 6,000,000,000 total world populace and there are, lets say 1,000 extremely wealthy individuals then would their wealth be greater than the remaining 5,999,998,000' individual's wealth put together? It would be a helpfull pointer for us to be able to monitor this ratio - moving up or down as to whether we are making progress in this field or being shoved backwards. If there has already been some work done on this 'Absolute Wealth Disparity Ratio' then perhaps someone could point us to it and if not perhaps we could do some work on it ourselves.
