Seems like you enumerated the possibilities, but I guess you'd also have to ask: 1. For whom? Is the divide between poor and rich people getting smaller or big

Seems like you enumerated the possibilities, but I guess you'd also have to ask: 1. For whom? Is the divide between poor and rich people getting smaller or bigger? Is the divide between poor and rich countries getting bigger or smaller? Will there be countries? 2. What is getting better/worse? Will people be richer in the future? If they are richer, will they be happier?
