The plate is already tilted
The data released by Oxfam on March 5, 2026 is shocking.
Let's face the numbers first.
The world's top 1% have held more than twice as much wealth as the combined wealth of the remaining 6.9 billion people since 2015.
3.4 billion people, half of the world's population, live on less than $5.50 a day.
And 0.001% — just 60,000 people — own three times the total wealth of the bottom 50%.
This is not a simple gap.
Billionaires' assets grow at a rate of 8% per year.
The bottom 50% are virtually stuck.
The magic of compound interest only works for those who already have it.
What will happen to this gap 30 years from now? There is no need to calculate. The answer is already there.
About the belief that the market is fair
Companies spend more on executive compensation than on taxes.
Rich countries compete with each other to lower corporate taxes.
As a result, poor countries lose at least $100 billion in tax revenue each year.
The taxes you pay are being channeled elsewhere through structural loopholes rather than public services.
This version did not happen by chance.
Those who designed the tax structure, those who lobbied, those who created the trusts — they are all in the same network.
When individual investors decide to invest by only looking at financial statements, the network has already made the next move.
This is exactly what relational risk does.
Reading the relationships behind the numbers.
Finding out who made the rules of this game.
Finding a way for individual investors to survive within that structure.
구조를 모르면, 구조의 희생양이 된다.
