re: "Report: Thailand most unequal country in 2018" (BP, December 7)
Dear editor,
Who would not be impressed by the report from Credit Suisse Global Wealth Databook 2018, which ranks Thailand comfortably at number one at last?
In 2016, Thailand's 1% elite owned only 58% of the nation's wealth, but the unremitting efforts of those selfless lads who took over to correct such states of affairs have managed to boost that to 66.9% ownership by the 1% this year. For those threatened by the good morals of democracy, another coup was clearly the sound investment strategy. And with Thailand's Gini Index "at a whopping 90.2," it is obvious what sort of ingrates complain about the state of the state.
The joy of coups: returning happiness to the 1%.
