Investigate whether these innovations have succeeded in improving wealth distribution or if inequality persists. Consider the potential of technology to reduce economic disparities and empower individuals to pursue their purpose. Analyze topics such as Universal Basic Income, social identity, and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) as possible solutions to address wealth inequality.
