Recent populist uprisings such as the tea party, antiglobalization sentiments, antiβWall Street viewpoints, and the Trump candidacy itself may look mild compared to what could emerge in the future.31 This is why early action is needed before resentment, anger, and unrest reach hurricane levels. It is certainly the case that a number of workers will see their jobs affected or even eliminated, which will lead to considerable anger and anxiety over the pace of economic change. Those of average means are likely to feel powerless in the face of broad-scale transformation, and this will aggravate public anger directed toward establishment elites.
