Why the Rich and Powerful Have Become So Fatalistic
The New York Times is running a piece examining why wealthy and powerful elites increasingly express fatalistic views about the future. The article, flagged under books, appears to explore a pessimistic streak among the global elite, from doom-laden predictions about climate, technology and society to retreat-style preparations like bunkers and escape plans. Readers are debating whether this fatalism reflects genuine insight or a loss of faith in the systems that made them rich.
Why now: A prominent new Times essay on elite pessimism is sparking conversation about inequality and the mindset of the wealthy.
