In the article "UN report shows poverty grinds on" in Green Left Weekly #412, there was a typing error in one of the dates.
The sentence in question should have read: "The distance between the incomes of the richest and poorest country has increased from 3:1 in 1820 [not 1920], 35:1 in 1950, 44:1 in 1973 and 72:1 in 1992."

By now we all know that the rich get richer under capitalism. But many are astounded at the incredible pace this takes place.
"Without Green Left Weekly, freedom of press and public truth-telling in Australia would be gravely ill."
