Income and wealth inequalities have reached extreme proportions. Procentians and promelians have reached socially distorting levels of influence.

AIM of this blog is to help

ACHIEVING A SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF ECONOMIC DIFFERENTIATION.

PROPAGATE ECONOMIC FAIRNESS THAT WOULD SUPPORT DEMOCRACY. NOT MATERIAL EQUALITY.

Some Definitions

Economic Inequality as a term used here, includes both income and wealth inequalities. The very wealthy have enough means to shift fortunes from wealth to income and vice versa. As is fiscally and socially more suitable to cirumstances. (An own blog entry will be dedicated to the topic). Since these are each measured separately, data reflects them separately as well. The people are mostly the same ones, procentians and promilians.

Procentians and Promilians are the terms used to describe the richest one percent and the richest one part per thousand of society respectively.
