Majority world report
summary
Networks connect 3.4 billion people and that number almost doubles in five years while wealth concentrates: the top one percent grows richer as the majority earn less. Tech creates real shifts — $40 trillion value shift with sectors like media, retail, energy, housing, health and transport already seeing $2–3 trillion of disruption and investment yearly. Entrepreneurship rises: 5% of people are founders, Facebook shows ~120 million "zebras," and cities from São Paulo to Manila lead new job models.
