This guy looks like one of the upper middle class elite: he goes to Columbia, Oxford, Australia and writes about wealth disparity without creating wealth himself as an entrepreneur or living a poor man's life... One wonders how hateful divisive opinions form in society and it is this kind of misguided elitist journalists who are neither wealth-creators nor poor who use words to create doubts in people's minds about hard work. hustling and reward. I give you : Our generation's Indian Karl Marx. I don't even want to read his book .. his article is disgusting. For over 50 years the govt was running things in India driving India into deep poverty ... now with private enterprise poor people's living standards are rising(affordable cellphones and in a matter of time affordable education & health care)... Patience... nation-building needs patience and entrepreneurial hardwork not articles about wealth disparity. If a man works hard and builds a business why shouldn't he make more wealth.. after all he earned it... is he going to eat his money without spending it.. and who gets the money? ..does it circulate among only rich people.. are you kidding me? Instead of focusing on barriers to social mobility he talks about the class system.. Is a self-built Infy Narayanamurthy a master and his lowliest programmer a slave... God! SAve us from elitist socialist journalists and authors! They will take us back to the hell-hole of before the 1991 economic liberalisation
