Over the past quarter-century, political, legal and economic changes have reshaped the relationship between wealth and political power in America.
Economists say wealth is now more concentrated at the very top than at any time since the Gilded Age.
The tech and market revolutions of recent decades have created riches on an unprecedented scale.
Changing norms on executive compensation and lower-tax policies under Republican and Democratic administrations have helped insul…

The most closely matching thing I can think of is the quote (anonymous?), “Angesagte Revolutionen finden nicht statt.” (which means “Preannounced revolutions are not taking place.”).

The director of IBM's Research Lab has some bold takes on the future of computation.
We're on the cusp of two simultaneous technological revolutions - #AI and #quantum - that will fundamentally change how the world uses computers to solve difficult problems.

IBM predicts a computation revolution
Quantum and AI are ushering in a whole new range of algorithmic possibilities, says IBM’s research lead.
