The gap between the rich and poor is widening fast.

The difference between rich and poor is becoming more extreme, and as income inequality widens the wealth gap in major nations, education, health and social mobility are all threatened.

The rich become richer and the poor become poorer is a cry heard throughout the whole civilized world.

Richness in the world is a result of other people's poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots.

The differences in income between the poor world and the rich world are so great that people have to be interested.

There's a wealth gap that is happening, and that is all over the world, you know? The rich are getting richer and holding a higher percentage of money or wealth that's out there.

We no longer live in a world that is neatly divided between rich and well-educated countries, and poor and badly-educated ones.

In financial terms, my sense is that the distribution of wealth, unequal as it is, is self-perpetuating, and, especially in a linked and accelerating world, the rich get ever more quickly richer while the poor get ever more speedily poorer.

The world at large is less inequitable today than at any time in history. Number of people in abject poverty, as a percentage, is at all-time low.

In real terms, there is a greater disparity of earnings between the very rich and the very poor.
