Photographers Capture the Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

A new book looks at extreme priviledge in an unequal world.

January 14, 2016

When people think of inequality, they often think first of the lives of the world's poorest people. This Friday, a new book puts the spotlight on the richest. 

Little also views the collection as a response to the 1950s photo exhibit Family of Man, which optimistically tried to show that we are all humans, part of the same world. 

"I have huge respect for [that exhibit]," Little says. "But I felt like, with inequality skyrocketing all around the world … it's hard to claim that we're all in this together."
