India's income inequality widens, should wealth be redistributed? | Counting the Cost

Published 2024-05-16
India is the fastest-growing major economy in the world. But, the benefits of India’s growth are not trickling down to poor people. The richest 1 percent of the population owns 40 percent of the country’s wealth.

The inequality gap has widened sharply under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decade in power. It is now a flashpoint in the country's national elections, with hot topics including inheritance taxes and wealth redistribution.

Also, how much does the United States spend on foreign aid and does the funding help boost global stability?

Plus, why has Zambia banned charcoal production permits?

    This is oddly not complicated. To build a middle class you need to keep money in the country. Force the rich to invest in their country. Low taxation and tariffs for wealth that leaves the country. Guys. Come on. Allow the rich to make money and give them a reason to apply it to India.
