inequality

  • Empires of Men

    The three richest individuals in the world own more wealth than the lowest 48 nations combined. The richest 1 percent in the United States now own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent. Around 2,100 individuals at the top own as much wealth on the planet as the 4.6 billion humans at the bottom. How has this extreme inequality affected daily life for the masses?

  • Joseph in the Egyptian Empire

    Joseph helps the Egyptian Pharoah prepare ahead of time for an impending famine, and avoids mass starvation through the measures he takes. For this feat, he gets a lot of credit in mainstream narratives and Sunday school stories. But a question worthwhile asking is how he goes about achieving that end. What are the measures that Joseph takes and how do those change Egptian society? Is the result good or bad?
