On the 2020 Presidential Election - Mark Blyth

The world has never been richer, yet we have never been angrier. What does this say about where we are heading? Acclaimed for his stunning (and very early) predictions of Donald Trump’s victory and Brexit, and for identifying the phenomenon that he named "Global Trumpism," Brown University professor Mark Blyth has once again pinpointed the powerful underpinnings that are shaping our political and economic future.

The description starts with "The world has never been richer" What the heck does that mean? Richer in what? The world isn't richer, the rich people have more stuff and have found a way to hoard more stuff and exploit more people and resources. One of these days people will understand that "rich" means feeling connected, not having more stuff than your friends.
