So, in assessment 2, we reflected on a particular case involving great wealth - the fact
that Elon Musk's net worthincreased by about ZAR 12 billion a day over the course of
2024. In assessment 3, we reflected on very severe povertyand abuse in the supply
chain of a global commodity - cobalt.
In this assessment we are going to think about the possibility that these two issues -
great wealth and great poverty -might be linked by focusing on the proposal in
Assessment 1 that:
“The wealth of a few depends on the poverty of many.”
To make this possibility really come alive though, we want you to consider two of the
questions in assessment 1 together:
"Of the top 10 wealthiest people (all men), eight are tech billionaires. Their net worth is
US$ 1.6 trillion or ZAR 31trillion"
