As put in Paul Van Der Merwe’s famous quote, “Money makes the world go round…”. The truth of this statement has been in effect for millennia, but only in recent decades has the world felt its full impact. This paper is written on extreme wealth inequality; the divide it creates between the different economic classes and its other detrimental effects on the world. With such a fundamental aspect of society being exploited and used for the benefit of the few, the fairness of opportunity and every person’s right to a good quality of life suffers. This paper explores the impacts of economic inequality from the level of the individual, to international concern.
