  1. The rise of neoliberalism across the Western World is seeing a surging wealth inequality and surging asset prices. An increasing proportion of GDP goes to the wealthy and the poorest increasingly struggle. The prospect of a career for the young is increasingly difficult and many find themselves in volatile, unstable work and even renting a property is problematic. Starting a family is near impossible and we see a declining birthrate. The declining birthrate can be compensated for through immigration but if this is blocked then a declining work force may have to be handled through a further delay in the retirement age. Technology may help but in the past, most of the benefits of this have gone to the wealthy. Unless the current neoliberalism trend can be reversed so that wealth inequality is reduced then the prospects for the majority of the population in the future is likely to be pretty grim.
