Across the globe, wealth has concentrated at levels unseen since the Gilded Age. Billionaires shape markets, influence elections, and even decide the terms of our public debates — while millions struggle to keep up with rising costs, stagnant wages, and vanishing social mobility. The gap between those who govern the system and those who live within it is widening into a chasm.
Some see this as the natural evolution of capitalism — innovation rewarded, success deserved. Others warn that democracy itself is being hollowed out: when wealth can buy access, rewrite laws, and escape accountability, can the ideal of equal citizenship survive?
At the same time, the ultra-rich are increasingly detached from ordinary life. Private islands, space tourism, and offshore wealth point to a new kind of aristocracy — one that no longer depends on public approval. What happens to society when those with the most power have the least in common with everyone else?
In this conversation, we will explore:
· The mechanics of modern inequality — how wealth multiplies at the top.
· How the ultra-rich shape politics, policy, and public opinion.
· The social and psychological distance between elites and citizens.
· The moral narratives that justify excess and obscure responsibility.
· The impact of extreme inequality on democracy, trust, and cohesion.
· Whether reform, resistance, or reinvention can restore balance.
This is not a lecture but an open dialogue — an invitation to question who really rules our world, and what it would take to bridge the growing divide between the elite few and the forgotten many.
