大流行导致超级富豪占有世界财富份额提升

(3). Lucas Chancel was the lead writer. He said the COVID crisis has worsened the inequalities between the very rich and the rest of the population. He noted that rich economies used massive financial support to lessen the increased rise in poverty seen elsewhere.

(5). They wrote, "wealth is a major source of future economic gains, and increasingly, of power and influence...," which predicts even more increases in inequality. They were writing about what they called an "extreme concentration of economic power in the hands of a very small minority of the super-rich."

(10). Researchers say some super-rich have gained from the move to online of much of the world’s economy during lockdowns. Others simply gained from the value of what they owned, which raised as financial markets put money into the recovery of the economy.
