solitude and activity, just a short, uphill walk from shops and cafes and busy, curving streets, a place that on this warm afternoon could convince you the world is but one long coffee break. The 86-year-old Lessing knows better. "It's extremely affluent around here and people just take it for granted," she says. "I don't remember anything like this when I first came to London."

and half the capitalization of the stock market (close to 10,000 companies) is in fewer than 100 corporations. In other words, we live in a world of winnertake-all extreme concentration. Similarly, a very small number of days accounts for the bulk of stock market movements: Just ten trading days can represent half the returns of a decade.
