What the Numbers Tell Us. Chin, G. & Culotta, E. Science, 344(6186):818–821, May, 2014.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] In 2011, the wrath of the 99\,% kindled Occupy movements around the world. The protests petered out, but in their wake an international conversation about inequality has arisen, with tens of thousands of speeches, articles, and blogs engaging everyone from President Barack Obama on down. Ideology and emotion drive much of the debate. But increasingly, the discussion is sustained by a tide of new data on the gulf between rich and poor. This special issue uses these fresh waves of data to explore the origins, impact, and future of inequality around the world.
