How long will people be happy with growing global inequality?
United States Is Now the Most Unequal of All Advanced Economies
There have always been rich and poor, but the sheer size of the discrepancy is now truly breathtaking. To add to this problem, the mass of the middle class who once made up the bulk of the Western democratic nations are now being hollowed up. It is as if feudalism is slowly returning before our eyes and robbing us of the last two centuries of development.
When people are unhappy, they will accept it for a while. But when they begin to lose hope with what is before them, will they continue to accept it? Or will they take alternative actions that could be more devastating and terrifying for us all?
