Thanks for the presentation! This will definitely be helpful with my 4th graders.

What's needed? To deliver for ordinary people by tackling extreme inequality, Oxfam calls for:
🔹Rebalancing power
🔹Unrigging the tax code
🔹Reimagining the safety net
🔹Supporting workers' rights

The good news is—the country got out of the first Gilded Age, and it can get out of this one.

We've feature insights from organizers and other experts on the front lines of fighting inequality. They know what's up.

It's time for policymakers to heed their demands.

@warren.senate.gov says it best, in her powerful foreword to our report.

The divides we see today are no accident. Since 1989, the top 1% grabbed at least 987x more wealth per household than B20.

Policymakers have prioritized the wealthy over ordinary people. We get into Reagan on labor, Clinton's welfare reforms, Bush's tax cuts for the rich & more.

Unfortunately (unless you're a billionaire) the very rich do keep getting richer.

📈The richest 0.1%'s share of assets (12.6%) & the stock market (24%) are now higher than any time in modern history.

Such extreme wealth-->outsized power, corroding democracy.

Meanwhile:
🔹US homelessness is at record highs
🔹Over 40% of the country (and ~1 in every 2 kids) is considered poor or low-income
🔹Many millions of families are set to lose health insurance and access to food assistance, thanks to the largest wealth transfer upwards in decades

Grateful to all who contributed to this work—and to everybody out there fighting for a more equal world in these strange times.

As #FFD4 approaches, we call for new strategic alliances to address inequality.

For taxing the super-rich to pay for public services & climate action (9 out of 10 support it globally!).

For reforms to the international financial architecture & more. 👉 oxf.am/ffd-brief-2025

We look at the misguided private finance takeover of development that's enriched wealthy investors but led to exclusion, poverty & exploitation

It's time to retire what @danielagabor.bsky.social calls the Wall Street Consensus. A public-first approach is need www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Stark numbers:

Since 1995, private wealth has surged 8x more than public wealth

Since 2015, the top 1% gained over $33.9 trillion, enough to end annual poverty 22x

Today 3.7 billion+ live in poverty. Billionaires (3000 ppl) hold equal to 14.6% of global GDP.
