happened, andwhat does the arrival of their astronomical wealth really mean for the rest of us? In programme one of this two-part series, Jacques Peretti looks at how the super-rich first exploited an obscure legal loophole to make Britain one of the most attractive tax havens on earth. He argues this was no accident. Wooing the super-rich was a deliberate strategy by government to reconfigure the British economy, under the belief their wealth would trickle down to the rest of us. But it didn't. The OECD now say the British economy would have been 20 per cent bigger had we not pursued the super-rich. So who sold us the fallacy and why? |

Jacques meets the super-rich themselves - from those buying premiership football clubs to the billionaires who are breaking ranks to criticise the decisions that made them richer and society more unequal. Jacques challenges the architects of these policies, as well as tracking down the foreign multimillionaires who are buying up Britain and turning us from a nation of property owners to a nation of renters. He uncovers new research that shows growing inequality has been driven by this key factor of unaffordable property, and the far-reaching effect this will have on every aspect of our lives. Inequality is reshaping Britain into two simple classes: the 99 per cent and the one per cent. This is the story of how it happened and what it means for all of us. |

One percenters, yeah.. Did you know that even just getting the dole in Australia puts you in the top 5 percent of earners on the planet?

What I want to know is what is at the other end of the scale? There are people who probably earn nothing and yet live a totally sustainable way of life. Where do they fit into the equation? Maybe they don't.

OK, watched it. It explains the reasons behind why inequality is becoming a big problem in the US and UK, and other similar economies. How the poor are fked because of government lies and the 'trickle down effect' not working, and the money actually trickling up to the rich and staying there. Basically how everyone is fked until we have had enough and finally do something about it.
