"As AI agents become more integrated into the economy, companies and entities that deploy them will benefit disproportionately compared to those that cannot, Nick Srnicek, a senior lecturer in digital economy at King’s College London, told Rest of World.
“We will see new inequalities of access, scale, quality and trust: divides between those who have agents and those who don’t; those who have good agents and those who have bad agents; those who have many agents and those who have few agents; and those who can trust their agents and those who cannot,” he said.
Having access to agents that outpace others means “the outcomes of negotiations and transactions will be structurally biased towards those with greater access,” Srnicek said. “Agentic inequality can harden into systems of dominance.”
AI-powered agents and robots could generate about $2.9 trillion in economic value per year in the U.S. by 2030, McKinsey said in a report last year: “Work in the future will be a partnership between people, agents, and robots — all powered by AI.”"

Interview: "How Oligarchs Dominate Our Democracies”
"Democracy’s failure to address wealth inequality is by design." While voters have a say on some issues, oligarchs maintain "economic inequality by fighting against wealth redistribution."
Today's democracies "are among the most unequal societies ever to have existed in human history."
In Imperial Rome, the wealth gap was ~16,000 to one. In today's US, 140,000 to one

Every time politicians and media commentators start talking about “serious economic reform”, ordinary Australians somehow end up paying more, working longer, and getting fewer services, while big corporations and wealthy investors walk away with another tax break. Hmmm it’s unusual that “shared sacrifice” nearly always flows in one direction. Australians are told to tighten belts while corporate profits and executive bonuses keep soaring.
