Ignore it, wring hands about it, hell, produce an interpretive dance to proclaim it. Doesn't matter, because power is a fundamental feature of being human.

Hyperbolic comparisons to slavery intended to evoke some emotional connection between wealth and evil definitely won't change that.

As it is an ongoing problem around the world I would say we are still doing a good job of ignoring it. We are however doing a great job of renaming it....
