Well I think the rich and powerful of the world all have the same interests and long term agenda at heart, it's just a question of scale. With the world's population rising fast, the only way they'll be able to secure their lifestyles is for the real power and wealth to be increasingly shared between a small elite at the expense of the rest. At the very top, few of them are going to freely relinquish their private estates, jets, yachts, luxury homes etc. in order that the likes of us have a slightly better life.
The subject of another thread, however...
