(multiplied by 34 baht per dollar equals 1,564 trillion baht) is wealth from the super-rich.
"Ultra-rich" only 1%, while the remaining 99% of the world's population has added only 16 trillion dollars in new wealth (approximately 544 trillion baht).
This is
the epitome of inequality.
That happened to the world's 8 billion people in just two years.

but SMEs die smoothly)
The Ox Fame report states that one super-rich earns about $1.7 million for every $1 earned by the poorest, 90% of the world's population, each day. These get richer by $ 2,700 million per day (about 91,800 million baht).
The rise of the wealthy in 2022 is profiting from rapidly increasing food and energy prices.
The 95 food and energy companies doubled their profits in 2022 to more than $306 billion and paid dividends to shareholders like Wufu of $257 billion, representing 84. % of profits, e.g. Wal-Mart family

I agree with Oxfam's proposed tax increase on the super-rich. to reduce inequality and restore democracy The richer the richer the richer. millions of land to plant bananas to avoid the land tax for a few thousand baht But the government did not dare to tax the rich.
