Detailed Solution

The above image represents that democracy does not appear to be very successful in reducing economic inequalities.
It is a valid criticism of modern-day liberal democracies. The cartoon shows that a poor man, who represents half the population of the world, has a very small slice of the world's income, whereas the other person, who represents the top 2% of the world's population, enjoys a very large part of this income. Income inequality across the world has been increasing rapidly in the past few decades, with fewer and fewer people controlling more and more economic resources of the world.
