Sample Book Insights:
#1 The 1 percent in America are typically referred to as the richest people in the country, and they do receive a large portion of the country’s income. However, this ignores the fact that almost any member of an affluent country has a lot of power.
#2 The world’s income is shown here, with everyone’s income ranked from the poorest to the richest. The space between 0 and 25 percent represents the poorest 25 percent of the world’s population, and the space between 75 and 100 percent represents the richest 25 percent.
#3 Those in the 1 percent earn more than $52,000 annually. If you earn at least $28,000, which is the typical income for working individuals in the United States, you’re in the richest 5 percent of the world’s population.
#4 There is one way in which the $1. 50-per-day figure cannot be fully converted into what $1. 50 could buy in the United States in 2014. In the United States, because there is no extreme poverty, there is no market for extremely cheap goods.
