高端的技术正在日新月异地发展，经济失衡也越演越烈，作家克里斯蒂娅•弗里兰称。在这激动人心的演讲中，她描述了正在崛起的一代新富豪(极端的财富赋予他们极端的势力)，同时阐述了全球化和技术革新不但没有缩小贫富差距，反而加剧了贫富悬殊。 Freeland 阐述了富豪统治的三个问题以及一线希望。

世界新富豪之兴起

Economic inequality is skyrocketing as technology and globalization create vast fortunes for a select few, leaving the middle class increasingly hollowed out. The wealth of the top 0.1 percent in the United States now rivals where the top 1 percent was just decades ago, and two billionaires once held as much wealth as the bottom 40 percent combined. 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.
