But across the world, we see millions of people caught in semi-permanent crises. As each year goes by, they are less and less likely to break free.

It's true that globalization, with all its fantastic improvements in the world and the technological progress linked to it, has increased inequality at country level, especially inside countries. And there are people that were left behind - people, sectors, regions - that has created a sense of frustration in the rust belts of the world.
