The current state of the global economy faces a significant challenge in the uneven distribution of global financial assets and liabilities. To address this issue, this book conducts an in-depth analysis of the new global divisions in economic and financial inequality across the globe during the first two decades of the 21st century.

After providing a background on the global financial system in the aftermath of the 2008/2009 Global Financial Crisis, the book delves into a detailed examination of the data on economic and financial inequality. It analyzes growth rates relative to financial liabilities and assets for all countries where data is available. The central issues in understanding the financial and environmental efficiency of economic growth are also addressed, as well as the development of financial and regulatory technologies (FinTech and RegTech).

The final part of the book explores the changes in economic growth and financial assets/liabilities as a result of major events in the past three years: the COVID-19 Crisis, the rise of inflation, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The focal point of this analysis is the relationship between the speed of economic growth, the use of financial resources for funding that growth, and levels of inequality.

The green transition, as one of the most important challenges in the global economy, is an integral part of this analysis, along with the inequality in available financial resources for this transition and potential threats to global financial stability.

This book is a valuable resource for those interested in inequality, financial economics, the global financial system, and economic growth. It offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of the complex dynamics shaping the world's economy and provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing policymakers and policymakers.
