If you have had too much wealth and income divergence exploration, from a left globalist, how about a laxative or purgative addressing convergence, the 800 pound gorilla at the other extreme of globalization, both engendered by Western Globalization?
I recommend Steingart's The War for Wealth
Steingart was less prone to candy coating than Piketty is.
While I disagree with him on many things, Steingart is at least willing to acknowledge and play the civilization card, the trump card in the 21 St Century world.
At present, it seems to me that the only 'holders' of such cards are the Sinics, the Slavs, the Hindus, and to some extent, the Muslims. I do not count the Jews as a civilization at the present time.
You will note that these are all at war, here or there, with each other, over civilizational issues.
The modern state of Israel, though not a civilization by any means, tries to act as one. Of course, it is an armed camp in the Islamic Middle East.
