A girl sifts through garbage at a dumping site in Maputo, Mozambique (Getty)<\/span> <\/span> Earlier this month the OECD said global inequality was at its worst levels since 1820. It said that the \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093great divergence\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d between the global rich and poor was one of the most \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093worrying\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d developments in the last 200 years. This new Oxfam report echoes the grim picture painted by the controversial bestselling author Thomas Piketty in his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century<\/em>. In response the charity to growing inequality, the charity is now calling on governments to tackle tax evasion and to invest in public services, as well as introducing equal pay legislation to give women a \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093fair deal\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d and to introduce a living wage for all workers. By calling for a shift of taxation from labour towards wealth and capital, the charity risks being attacked by those on the economic right, who accuse it of politicising the international debate surround poverty. However while the report notes that it\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0084\u00a7s \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093necessary to offer fair reward for talent and hard work\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d it argues a growing consensus is emerging that extreme levels of inequality are economically as well as socially damaging. This comes after the governor of the Bank of England warned in May that capitalism risked destroying itself if bankers failed to realise they have a moral obligation to create a fairer society. He said: \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Just as any revolution eats its children, unchecked market fundamentalism can devour the social capital essential for the long-term dynamism of capitalism itself.\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d Mr Haldane agreed, saying: \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093In highlighting the problem of inequality Oxfam not only speaks to the interests of the poorest people but also the wider collective interest: there is rising evidence that extreme inequality harms, durably and significantly, the stability of the financial system and growth in the economy. It slows development of the human, social and physical capital necessary for raising living standards and improving well-being.\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d
