In the firmament, winners take all

Article Abstract:

There has been a dramatic widening of pay differentials in sport, pop music and finance over the last two decades. Each of these areas have a small number of leading personalities who are very well paid, even if they are not particularly talented, while everyone else receives only a modest income. It is now time to consider whether more emphasis should be placed on individuality, valuing cultural and intellectual variety above mass-produced 'celebrities.'

So, what kind of world will we be living in?

Article Abstract:

It is likely that the current advance of the global market economy will continue for at least one more generation, with power moving increasingly away from national governments. Governments will begin to be forced to become internationally competitive on the basis of the quality of their stewardship, and will thus have to improve their performance. It would take an extremely serious political or military disaster to halt the advance of globalisation.

Each terrorist attack makes ordinary people more willing to accept advanced security technology as part of everyday life.
