Summary:The deterioration of the market value of labor in richer parts of the world has been steady over the last forty years.

Globalization has been the driving force of this trend, but the logic of globalization and its more recent ancillary, robotization, will ultimately create a world not of rich and poor nations, but of a unified rich elite and an undifferentiated mass of disenfranchised citizens.
