1:37 am
not to the opposite. are atwo things together very ominous sign for the future. mark: is there not enough being done there? g-20, opening up the global economy, you're fighting forces that are very powerful. >> there is a scary parallel in history, it's a bit of a long story. we had a time in the 1870's through 1910 where huge technological innovation, the railroads and all this. it created some extraordinary wealth held by a small minority of people. disparity,r income and then there was a backlash in the. -- interwar time. the great depression could not have been severe.
