Wealth Inequality Around the World

One morning, I found a youtube video about Wealth Inequality in America. I started to wonder whether the distribution like in my home country, Thailand, and other parts of the world. I searched for it in the internet for a while, but it seems like I could not find any graphs or chart on this similar topic. So, I decided to do some research on this topic.

Then, I found the data that I want from World Development Indicator which is the one of many database of World Bank. But I just do not like the chart that it had on its web interface, so I designed to create my own chart, called 'Income Inequality', about this topic using Infogr.am. I found that using this type of method is a good way to convey the information to other people.

I want this post to be all about how I get to make this infograph, so if I did not put any of my interpretation in this post since we should separate between facts and opinion. Nevertheless, others still argue that by displaying numbers like this infographics, a creator intended to persuade readers to a certain direction which is already an interpretation of a creator.
