I wonder if world class mathematicians have a much better grasp of it — and yet fail to use their expertise to point out the absurdity of the current wealth inequality

Or do even they, world class mathematicians, not really ‘grasp’ it in this wildly important and urgent sense.

In my experience mathematicians don't really concern themselves with numbers between 2 and infinity.
