When the world’s poorest population dies at the rate of 21000 per day, the richest of the rich are piling and piling their riches to double, says the study of the Oxfam.
Danny Sriskandarajah, Oxfam GB’s chief executive, said,”This year, what’s happening is off the scale,” he said. “There’s been a new billionaire created almost every day during this pandemic, meanwhile 99% of the world’s population are worse off because of lockdowns, lower international trade, less international tourism, and as a result of that, 160 million more people have been pushed into poverty.”
According to Forbes figures, the report says, the world’s 10 richest men are: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bernard Arnault and family, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Ballmer and Warren Buffet.
Oxfam’s report is based on data from the Forbes Billionaires List and the annual Credit Suisse Global Wealth report, which gives the distribution of global wealth going back to 2000. The wealth of the richest have grew from $700bn to $1.5tn, there is significant variation between them, with Mr Musk’s fortune growing by more than 1,000%, while Mr Gates’ rose by a more modest 30%.Oxfam’s report, was prepared on the basis of the data gathered from the World Bank. The data shows the tragic fact that lack of access to healthcare, hunger, gender-based violence and climate breakdown has contributed to the one death every four seconds.

Writing is the intellectual interpretation of vision. Vision is the window open to philosophy. This is the scriptural metamorphosis of Dr. C.T. William’s writing. It was this scriptural phenomenon that inspired Dr. C.T. William to write several of his remarkable literary works. Being an Indian writer who blossomed in the Gods' own country, Kerala, his literary creations are debated among the chosen intellectual minority rather than the elected popular majority.
C.T. William has eight books to highlight his literary splendour. Manava Vibhava Vikasana Thathwachinthayum Arthashastravum (Malayalam: Philosophy, 2005, Publishers: Kerala Sahithya Academy, Thrissur), Ithuvare (Malayalam: Poems, 2009, Publishers: Current Books, Thrissur), Shabdham Ayodhya Vare Ethumbol (Malayalam: Criticism, 2011, Publishers: Sign Books, Thiruvanathapuram), Vilapatthinte Ilakal (Malayalam: Poems, 2013, Publishers: Maluben Books, Thiruvananthapuram), Nakshathrangal Chuvakkunnilla (Malayalam: Travelogue, 2013, Publishers: Dharmartham Books, Thrissur), Shesham Sheshan (Malayalam: Biography, 2013, Publishers: Mathrubhumi Books, Kozhikode), Pralobhanangalude Pravasa Vazhikal (Malayalam: Travelogue, 2014, Publishers: Dharmartham Books, Thrissur) and Kautilya Unleashed (English: Management, 2014, Publishers: Partridge India, A Penguin Random Company)
It was Dr. C.T. William’s unquenchable thirst for pragmatic philosophy that resulted in the writing of the book "Kautilya Unleashed" (published by Partridge India). The practical philosophy he invented and got inspired by the philosophy of human resource development that is inherent in the great Indian classic Arthashastra of Kautilya-the cosmic guru who wrote the Bible of administration and Management.
This book is an authentic guide and hand book for the global citizen to lead a successful life personal, political as well as organizational by applying the gospels of Human Resource Development and Management that have deep-rooted in the Oriental Philosophy. It is the Bible of management, specifically of human resource development. It consists of the gospels of administration, political diplomacy, philosophy of human resource development, economics, psychology of society, and the ethics of war and peace.
"The book Kautilya Unleashed will appeal to readers because it is an essential practical guide for global citizens, students of management, and the leaders of the world," Dr. William said. " Compared to other books of its kind, it is a simplified version of philosophic management thoughts in which students of management and general readers could easily follow and encapsulate," he added.
"Kautilya Unleashed" is the fruitful effort of a decadal intellectual meditation of the author. It will energise the readers and inspire them to work for the reconstruction of themselves, their society, nation, and the world.
