We're definitely due for a major shift in our political and economic systems over the next hundred years. At some point, the inequality and gains going to the top are going to boil over into something like the European-wide revolutions of 1848. Back then, much of central europe was still ruled by absolutist monarchs, with even the wealthiest business owners not having representation in government. Basically, people were scared of what a kingless republic is capable of after the reign of terror during the French Revolution. Within a few decades, and especially after WW1, the entire continent transformed republics. It's bound to boil over again at some point.
