飛躍的進化を遂げる技術と同様、経済的格差も飛躍的に拡大していると、作家のクリスティア・フリーランドは言います。情熱的なトークで、彼女は、新しい超富豪層（強い財力を盾に強い権力を持つ人たち）が台頭し、グローバル化と新しい技術は、グローバルでの所得格差を狭めるどころか、広げていると言います。フリーランドは、超富豪の台頭がもたらす３つの問題を語り、最後に希望の兆しを示します。

While globalization has lifted millions out of poverty worldwide, it has also outsourced jobs from Western economies and weakened social mobility. Real change will require ambitious new policies to ensure prosperity is widely shared.
