I believe millenials are, unfortunately caught up in one of history’s great tides : the return of enormous disparity between the few haves and the others. After the World Wars (or “The Great European Civil War of 1914–45”), the survivors set out to make all societies more equal, thus the fifties, sixties etc. But since 2000, the spectacular inequalities have returned as they existed before 1914, and maybe worse. Now, most of the increase in GDP goes to the ultra-rich who are so rich they do not know what to do with their money, while most others’ revenues stagnate or decrease. Alas, that great inequality had been the situation in most societies since the beginning of history, the period following the wars having been only a glitch, or a bump in the road to the domination of the powerful. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/08/14/the-whys-of-increasing-inequality-a-graphical-portrait/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.135a5fd26aba
