Inequality in the US: Steps toward a more equal society
Oxfam has released a new report titled “UNEQUAL: The rise of a new American oligarchy and the change we need”, which exposes the extreme inequality in the United States. The report reveals how economic and political systems have been shaped to favor a tiny wealthy elite, leaving the majority increasingly behind.
