"The Real Reason Inequality Persists in the World" Akira Ikegami / "Akira Ikegami Emergency Special!" Production Team Price: ¥880 The top 8 richest people have the same wealth as the bottom 3.6 billion! What is the cunning mechanism by which the rich get richer? What is the cruel reality of the poor getting poorer? Akira Ikegami tackles the untouchable taboos! This is the second installment following the well-received "Why Doesn't War Disappear from the World?" published in June 2016, tackling a major theme. Millionaires are nothing compared to the number of "billionaires" in the world who have assets of over 110 billion yen. Donald Trump, who is often seen as a symbol of the wealthy, isn't even in the top 100 of the Forbes list! In America, the "rich" are forming their own cities and becoming independent! So, Akira Ikegami rushed to Wall Street and conducted an emergency interview on the spot where wealth instantly generates more wealth! Also, Trump's unexpected tax-saving measures were introduced, and the studio was filled with surprise. A certain animal was used in those measures! Meanwhile, in Japan, which was once called a "middle-class society," the number of welfare recipients is increasing every year, and the serious reality of the impact on children is revealed. In poor families, children cannot receive adequate education, and "educational disparities" are created. What kind of lives do these children live? Why has inequality widened in Japan in the first place? Will the "work style reform" advocated by the Abe Cabinet eliminate inequality? Ikegami makes an emergency proposal to a world where inequality is expanding. Preface: Why Doesn't Inequality Disappear from the World? Chapter 1: The Rich Are Becoming Independent!
