Harvard economist Niall Ferguson holds in Paris for "extremely vulnerable" in terms of violence. Fergusson told CNBC that "there can be so much already this summer, we see the city in flames."

The wealthy in Sao Paolohave largely disconnected from normal life. The city has the highest density of helicopter landing sites on the skyscrapers. Thus, the rich want to escape the traffic jam on the earth. However, they fear, such as CNBC reported contact with the population.
Fergusson also reported an extended trip to China. He was amazed that the game leader had told him, they just read the book "The Old Regime and the Revolution" from 1856. In this book, Alexis de Tocqueville was describing the causes of the French Revolution. A party man had brandished during the call even a paperback edition of the work. This shows a inititiative the party leadership effect: This reading had expressly recommended in the spring to prepare for the party cadres to possible unrest. However, Ferguson does not believe that there would be a revolution in China. The regime had the police state so well constructed that the population should be kept under control.
