Each data point is supplemented with extensive metadata on methodology. The data warehouse features an extensive collection of information on the household wealth levels and balance sheets, along with distributional statistics from a wide range of sources. Moreover, it draws together data on wealth transfer tax revenues, and tax features such as rates, exemption thresholds, and tax schedules.

Global Justice Project | A collective research initiative by the World Inequality Lab
The Global Justice Report will be presented on 4–6 June 2026 at the World Inequality Conference, Paris School of Economics
Combining historical data from the World Inequality Database with global input-output tables, environmental accounts and labour surveys, the Global Justice Project explores what a just distribution of socio-economic and environmental resources could look like globally from 2025 to 2100 within planetary boundaries. At its core are “global convergence” scenarios linking two goals: socio-economic equality and planetary habitability. The GJP envisages a radical transformation of the global production system and international economic arrangements over the 21st century. To support critical investments the GJP proposes a Global Justice Fund, financed by the global rich and by a radical transformation of the international financial and monetary regime. The project is coordinated by Lucas Chancel, Cornelia Mohren, Rowaida Moshrif, Moritz Odersky, Thomas Piketty, and Anmol Somanchi. Among the participants is also Ignacio Flores, part of the Inequality in Rome Research Group where he acts as the data architect for the GC Wealth Project, and also a member of the World Inequality Lab as the statistical methods and Latin America coordinator. The "Global Justice Report: A Plan for Equality & Prosperity within Planetary Boundaries in 2100" will be presented on 4–6 June 2026 at the World Inequality Conference, Paris School of Economics.

The G20 Extraordinary Committee of Independent Experts on Global Inequality has released its report
Over 600 economists have signed a letter in support of its proposal for an international and independent panel
The Extraordinary Committee of Independent Experts on Global Inequality - commissioned by President Cyril Ramaphosa for South Africa’s Presidency of the G20 and chaired by Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz - has published the first-ever report on inequality to G20. The report features our ongoing work on the GC Wealth Project. The Committee’s key recommendation is the creation of a new international and independent panel that would monitor trends and assess its drivers and consequences and evaluate alternative policies for addressing inequality, to inform governments, policy makers, and the international community. The proposal has been endorsed by over 600 leading economists (including Prof. Salvatore Morelli), who signed an open letter in support of the Stiglitz Extraordinary G20 Committee on Inequality and the idea of creating an ‘Inequality IPCC’ (more info here).

2° Festival dell’Economia Critica | Capitalismo di Stato, stato del Capitalismo
10 e 11 ottobre 2025 | Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, Viale Pasubio 5 - Milano
Nascosta dietro la retorica della “mano invisibile” del mercato, si delinea con chiarezza la dinamica degli ultimi decenni: i ricchi diventano sempre più ricchi, i poveri sono sempre più poveri. Per disegnare un futuro diverso bisogna ripensare il nostro modello di sviluppo. La seconda edizione del Festival, affidato alla curatela del professor Emanuele Felice, vuole essere l’occasione per un confronto aperto e costruttivo per interrogarsi da un lato sullo stato del Capitalismo e dall’altro per ripensare il ruolo dello Stato a favore di una società più equa e giusta.
Il 10 ottobre alle 16.30 è stato ospite anche il prof. Salvatore Morelli all'incontro "Capitale, Stato e fiscalità".
