  1. “Global Inequality” mulls the burgeoning, internet-enabled mass anti government uprisings around the world in search of commonality. Could it be that the only commonality needed is the new, internet-based ability everyone everywhere has suddenly acquired to see how everyone else lives, worldwide?

    • That’s a good point, Jack.

      Would you call this “envy-driven”? I think a little envy is inevitable given the disparities between North America and everywhere else but I think the term doesn’t quite fit.

      Everybody wants an American life but not everybody operates under American institutions. Yet!
