Globally, yes. And sure, we should care about the global more more than the poor of the developed countries. But I don't see any reason to believe so far that developed countries have solved the problem of rising inequality within their populations, so I see the rising inequality of developed nations as the future of all nations once they have all "caught up". So I would rephrase to say I hope inequality starts decreasing again in developed countries.
