What era in human history bears the closest resemblance to our last thirty years?

These times remind me of the late 19th Century Gilded Age. But, life for the 99% seemed a hell of a lot more harsh than life in our times. Life was cheaper and death a lot more common.

The Gilded Age got fixed by Teddy Roosevelt in the early 20th Century. Is there perhaps another progressive leader in our future to make things quasi-fair again? And also a lot more for the common good to fix climate change and Fukashima type catastrophes?
