The Marxist Nightmare of the 1 Percent

"... between technology, globalization, trade, the winner-take-all superstar effect, inequality is rising. This is not just a 'moral' issue but also an issue of too little consumption too little savings that is bad for global growth. So it becomes vicious cycle. It's a bit like the old Marxist idea that if profits grow too much compared to wages, there's not going to be enough consumption, and capitalism is going to self destruct. So I think that insight of Karl Marx is as useful today as it was 100 years ago."
