There will be a real revolution, not faux T party nonsense, if the issue is not addressed squarely.
It could easily be made worse by the soon-to-come AI tsunami but that could just as easily make things more equal and beneficial.
Globalization, on the other hand, enhances peace and provides wonderful technology we love. The iPhone factory worker in China does not want to fight a war with the USA that buys the phones. She/he wants to go home, help their children with homework and have some beer and noodles. Pretty much the same as the US worker of any kind.
Unemployed and underemployed and exploited people see little left to lose if inequality is too great and become more open to wars.
Nailed it. Income & wealth inequality is a big bad problem getting worse.
