The article talks about how some of the world's leading economists are warning that inequality isn't just something individual countries can deal with anymore. They explain that wealth and income gaps have gotten so large, and are growing so fast that this has turned into a global issue. What stood out to me is that they are not just talking about rich vs poor countries but inequality within countries too. They say that even places with strong economies are seeing the divide between the richest individuals and everyone else widening.
The economists argue that fixing this problem requires more than national policies, they believe that there needs to be a coordinated global action. They compare it mainly to climate change, if each country tries to solve it alone the results will not go far enough. Therefore they are asking for a much more organized system where countries share data and create international rules to prevent further concentration of wealth. They said in the article that without this cooperation, inequality will continue to rise no matter how hard individual governments try to address it.
The article also explains why this matters on a larger scale. Inequality effects almost everything from overall economic stability, to how much people trust their governments. With growing gaps between groups of people, political tension can rise like we are seeing right here in the United States. This is why I found this article so important to fact check, because if it is possible to narrow the gap by working with other nations we should not be closing down our borders but opening new ideas and change.
