In spite of efforts by humanitarian organisations, charities and
philanthropic societies, the problem of wealth only gets worse.
It is reported there are more billionaires in Moscow than any other
city in the world. The United States now has tens of thousands of
millionaires. Failing companies distribute extravagant bonuses to
redundant executives; a handful of individuals command more wealth
than the total GDP of the poorest 50 countries. These unfortunates are
compelled to live in enclosures, protected by armed guards, dogs and
razor-wire, the internees of excess.
