It seems that Davos elites just talked around the issue of inequality without understanding or addressing the cause or finding ways to prevent further damage. They did not, for example, discuss the need for strategic public investments in infrastructure, basic research, education, and universal healthcare, or the need to develop a healthy, skilled and productive workforce with enough disposable income to create market demand for goods & services. And, of course, they did not discuss how they would benefit the most from such investments, or any realization that they should pay the most in taxes to fund them. And finally, they did not discuss solutions for the social problems expected as automation and artificial intelligence join with globalization to eliminate jobs – possibly half of all jobs by 2050. The concept of Universal Basic Income is one proposed solution, but not on their agenda.
