I spent some time last year writing about unfairness and inequality for the Discover Geography series which you may have heard me talking about. It's out in a couple of month's time which will be very exciting.

This Voronoi app diagram shows the distribution of wealth and comes from Visual Capitalist.
Some key statistics:
- Just 1.6% of adults worldwide hold nearly 48% of global wealth, sitting at the top of the pyramid.
- Almost 3.1 billion adults, or 82% of the world’s population, control just 12.7% of total wealth.
- The bottom wealth tier, with less than $10k in assets, represents 1.55 billion adults but only 0.6% of global wealth.
