Status anxiety.
Yesterday, The New York Times finally showed a brief respite in its coverage of the American Psycho-esque obsession between the rich and the very rich, to report on the world wealth gap.
Some food for thought:
The top 1% of the world's population accounts for about 40% of the world's total net worth.
The bottom 50% of the world's population accounts for about 1.1% of the world's total net worth.
But, you know, whatever.
