The article mentions the book talking about how we don't care about other peoples kids as being one of the problems. I think that is a symptom of realizing that the world at large doesn't care for us, and if we only have so much time and energy to give we give it to our own. Also it seems like inequality is multifaceted. Everyone has more now then they have ever had, more stuff, more tech, more access to everything you need to survive. At the same time I see folks having a hard time making it, buying a house, saving for retirement, they are constantly drained. Unless you have both spouses working, which is another conversation all together. I only see discretionary spending happening from dual income houses, or single youth not yet concerned with retirement.
