The K-Bomb: An Inequality Emergency

By Chris Herd

Is it fair that the median person in the West owns wealth of $60,000 while the average wealth of the super-rich is over $77 million?

Is it fair that the wealthiest pay an effective tax rate of around 21% on their capital gains income while a senior nurse pays more than that on their salary?

Is it fair that a UK renter on an average income pays more than one third of everything they earn just to live in someone else's flat?

Is it fair that 300 US billionaires gave a combined $3 billion to elect the people who set the tax rates they pay?

Is it fair that we lose a trillion dollars every year to tax loopholes of the super-rich?

Is it fair that an 18-year-old today faces a minimum of 30 years before any plausible policy intervention could return us to the equality we enjoyed just 50 years ago?

If you think it s fair, then you won t like this book.

The K-Bomb does not just describe the massive inequality gap between the super-rich and the rest of us.
It explains where it s heading. And what is inevitably going to happen soon if we don t do something about it.

THE PAST: Have we been here before? How was it corrected?

THE PRESENT: What are the signs of instability we are seeing today? How are they directly caused by inequality?

THE FUTURE: What is going to happen if we don t correct it now? How can we defuse the K-Bomb?

The K-Bomb is real.
It s urgent.
It s ticking.
