In a message at the opening ceremony of the annual World Economic Forum, Pope Francis said: “Those who have demonstrated their ability to be innovative and for improving the lives of many people by their ingenuity and professional expertise can further contribute by putting their skills at the service of those who are still living in dire poverty.”
Ahead of the annual meeting of the global elite that ends on January 25th 2014 , the charity Oxfam issued a report that said, inequality had run so out of control, and that the 85 wealthiest people in the world “own the wealth of half the world’s population.”
