For no particular reason….GUARDIAN: “The richest .0001% hold 3x the wealth of the poorest half of humanity.”https://t.co/1v1E09bVBV pic.twitter.com/EpX5wh1lLJ

We studied, lightly, the wealth distribution of the 1st century Roman Empire. The graph looked like an inverted funnel, with a sharp peak at the top, rather than plateau. It was also a long, narrow “neck” from that peak down, with a very wide base. Basically the Emperor was at the top, and the wealth distribution was weighted towards that peak, with the vast majority in the bottom of the funnel, which spread wide to accommodate them all.
I wonder how different that is from what the Guardian article is referencing.
