To sum up what has been said thus far: the process by which wealth is accumulated and distributed contains powerful forces pushing toward divergence, or at any rate toward an extremely high level of inequality.

The likely decrease in the rate of growth of both the population and the economy in coming decades makes this trend all the more worrisome.
