The poorest half of the world saw their wealth decline by 11 percent, while the world’s richest saw theirs increase by 12 percent in 2018. High and rising income inequality continues to be a global challenge—and without the right policies in place—it is likely to rise even more. Join the three chief economists of the IMF, OECD, and World Bank as they talk about the ways countries can close the growing gap between the rich and poor.
