DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) -- The gap between the super-rich and the
poorest half of the global population is starker than previously
thought, with just eight men, from Bill Gates to Michael Bloomberg,
owning as much wealth as 3.6 billion people, according to an analysis
by Oxfam released Monday.

Presenting its findings on the dawn of the annual gathering of the
global political and business elites in the Swiss ski resort of Davos,
anti-poverty organization Oxfam says the gap between the very rich and
poor is far greater than just a year ago. It's urging leaders to do
more than pay lip-service to the problem.

If not, it warns, public anger against this kind of inequality will
continue to grow and lead to more seismic political changes

"It is obscene for so much wealth to be held in the hands of so few
when 1 in 10 people survive on less than $2 a day,"
