Whilst the disparity in power between the most and least powerful is gargantuan, and whilst the media obsess about the power and influence of a few, I suspect that even the most powerful people are still small cogs in a big machine.
By contrast, during earlier periods of history I would suggest that power was more concentrated.
I think the same kind of trend would hold true for metrics such as fame, status, creativity and intellectual output, but not for wealth.
