Chart looks at the state of the world in units of a trillion dollars

Lots of interesting and surprising things in David McCandless’s chart here. Scary to see that world wide debt has increased by $57 trillion since the financial crises. Maddening that it would take only $16.5 trillion for the world to meet Paris climate change targets. Infuriating that rich people are hiding $26.5 trillion in offshore accounts, and that the wealth of the 1% is $127 trillion.
