(Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/09/27/map-how-the-worlds-countries-compare-onincome-inequality-the-u-s-ranks-below-nigeria/) Note: the Palma ratio is defined as the ratio of the richest 10% of the population's share of gross national income (GNI) divided by the poorest 40%'s share. It is based on the work of Chilean economist Gabriel Palma who found that middle class incomes almost always represent about half of GNI while the other half is split between the richest 10% and poorest 40%, but the share of those two groups varies considerably across countries.

(Source: http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/pulitzercartoons/ig/2009-Pulitzer-Prize-Cartoons/SEC-Guard-Dog.htm) Note: the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), created in 1934, is an agency of the U.S. federal government. It holds primary responsibility for enforcing the federal securities laws and regulating the securities industry, the nation's stock and options exchanges, etc.

3.2.5. Wuerker, Matt, "Who's the Job Creator?", Politico, 2012 (editorial cartoon)

(Source: http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/bl-2012-pulitzer-cartoons.htm?PS=593:6) Note: a credit default swap (CDS) is a financial swap agreement that the seller of the CDS will compensate the buyer in the event of a loan default or other credit event. The buyer of the CDS makes a series of payments (the CDS "fee" or "spread") to the seller and, in exchange, receives a payoff if the loan defaults. In the event of default the buyer of the CDS receives compensation (usually the face value of the loan), and the seller of the CDS takes possession of the defaulted loan. However, anyone can purchase a CDS, even buyers who do not hold the loan instrument and who have no direct insurable interest in the loan (these are called "naked" CDSs). By early 2012, the outstanding CDS amount was reportedly $25 trillion in early 2012. CDSs are not traded on an exchange and there is no required reporting of transactions to a government agency. During the 2007-2010 financial crisis the lack of transparency in this large market became a concern to regulators as it could pose a systemic risk.
