BBC World Service - The Inquiry, Is Inequality About to Get Unimaginably Worse?

A special edition with Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens and Homo Deus.

Yuval Noah Harari, the author of Sapiens and Homo Deus, explores the long history of inequality – from the Stone Age onwards – and asks whether we are on the brink of creating a huge “economically useless” underclass, unable to keep up with enhanced humans, the owners of increasingly valuable data and, eventually, artificial intelligence.
