> This is why wealth inequality soared when capitalism went global in the 20th century... This led to massive accumulations of wealth and the biggest wealth gap in history. Is he saying that wealth was better distributed in prior centuries ? Is he discarding the huge social progress in the 20th ? > The third solution is a Universal Basic Income, where countries distribute some wealth to all residents equally. Who's paying ? "The countries" ? Charming way to say "the middle class".
