Progressive taxation can offset the effect of growing inequality.

Here's something we're rarely told growing up: our world rewards wealth, not hard work or talent.

For me, growing up as an activist under an oppressive dictatorship in Uganda, the U.N. was a friend to those of us who fought our way to freedom, as it was for the millions who joined decolonization struggles in the African continent.

The world belongs to the wealthy, and nowhere is this injustice more apparent than in the workplace.

Business is about more than just money. It's about being creative and innovative.

It's funny because I grew up with the T.V. on 24 hours a day. And the more money I made, the more T.V.s we had.

Granted, the writers, directors, producers, and that community make a great deal of money. But they might be choosing to do a whole lot of other things for the living they make.

As we progress as a species, we will unlock new means for enhancing our lives at every turn - and our conceptions of wealth and poverty will evolve in tandem.
