===2014-07-01 Conspiracy of the Plutocrats: Secrets of the Wealth-Inequality Explosion Revealed===
Piketty protégé Gabriel Zucman explains how the world's wealthiest are scamming governments for trillions.
The growing wealth gap in developed countries is an incredibly disturbing development. New research suggests that inequality might be growing even faster than we thought. Worryingly, this concentration of wealth has coincided with a concentration of debt at the bottom, as families struggle to maintain their standards of living with stagnating incomes. But even this data understates wealth inequality, argues Gabriel Zucman in “The Hidden Wealth of Nations ,” because official statistics fail to capture offshore wealth holdings.
