Economic inequality has been a popular topic for analysis, commentary and political debate. Recent data have elicited yet more concern. The top 1 per cent of the world’s wealthy individuals now own more than the next 99 per cent, and the top 0.1 per cent own more than the bottom 90 per cent. When examining inequality at the country level, the Gini index reveals that those with high income inequality are not only advanced economies but also resource-dependent laggards. For India, growing wealth inequality limits efforts to overcome poverty and reach full development.
