I find the plots of distribution of global income here very illuminating - https://www.gapminder.org/income-mountains-dataset-v2/

Because the nicely shaped bell curves used in TFA are not at all what the distribution actually looks like. There is a significant right-skew. Don't miss the log-scale on x-axis in the first few graphs as well.
