The title unnecessarily uses inflammatory language. Stating that the richest 1 percent "took" some percent of new wealth implies thievery or malfeasance. Why not say that they earned that percent, or that most of the new wealth came in the form of returns to capital, or other language that is less judgmental and more descriptive?

The first paragraph is also very poorly written: "Growing inequality resulted in 82 per cent of new global wealth going to the richest 1 per cent last year..." Growing inequality is a consequence of this, not a cause!

While extreme inequality likely is not sustainable and throughout history has led to social upheaval (e.g., the French Revolution), the poor choice of language in the headline and at the beginning this article really turned me off. I stopped reading at that point.
