 ddle Class Dying? A Global Crisis People Don't Talk About</a>\nWhat happen
 s when the middle class\, the group that built much of modern society\, ca
 n no longer afford the very life it was promised? Around the world\, housi
 ng prices are soaring\, education and healthcare are becoming increasingly
  expensive\, and many people who once expected a comfortable future now fe
 el like they're running just to stand still. Is this simply another econom
 ic cycle that will eventually correct itself\, or are we witnessing a much
  deeper shift in how society works? Hosted by Omar\, a tech business exper
 t\, this discussion explores one of the biggest economic and social questi
 ons of our time in an open\, balanced and thought-provoking way. Together 
 we'll examine what has happened to the middle class across different count
 ries\, who benefits and who loses from these changes\, and whether governm
 ents\, corporations\, technology or even voters themselves share responsib
 ility. We'll compare different economic systems\, challenge common assumpt
 ions\, and ask what the future might look like for younger generations ent
 ering adulthood today. Whether you follow economics closely or simply want
  to better understand the world you're living in\, you'll leave with new p
 erspectives on one of the defining issues of the 21st century. Let's explo
 re: Has the global middle class begun to disappear\, and why? Why have hou
 sing\, healthcare and education become so much less affordable? Who bears 
 the greatest responsibility: corporations\, technology\, or people? Which 
 countries are handling these challenges better than others? What does this
  mean for Millennials\, Gen Z and future generations? Is there a realistic
  path to rebuilding a thriving middle class? 中产阶级这个造就了
 现代社会基石的那群人，一旦连自己曾经被许诺过的舒
 适生活都负担不起了，会发生什么？全世界房价疯涨，
 教育和医疗越来越贵，那些以前觉得未来有盼头的人，
 现在感觉自己就是为了原地踏步在跑。这到底只是又一
 个经济周期而已，最终会自己纠错，还是我们正在见证
 社会运行方式的根本性转变？这场讨论由科技商业专家Om
 ar主持，大家会以一种开放、平衡又发人深省的方式，一
 起聊聊我们这个时代最重磅的经济和社会问题。 [...]
