Poor countries also reduce wealth inequality. In fact, China went through a Communist revolution where all private landowners’ wealth was taken from them. This happened from the 1930s through the 1950s and was a fairly bloody, violent process, involving lots of revolutionaries inciting peasants to forcibly occupy land and buildings and killing landlords if they didn’t cooperate.
