Skill and capital-intensive technologies are the leading culprit behind the rise in inequality since the late 1970s. By all indications, this trend is likely to continue, producing historically unprecedented levels of inequality and the threat of widespread social and political conflict.
事实上，类似的情况在发达世界至少已经开始了四十年。技能和资本密集型技术是20世纪70年代末以来不平等性增加的罪魁祸首。所有指标都表明这一趋势可能继续下去，形成历史上前所未有的不平等程度，可能引发普遍的社会和政治冲突。
