Ask HN: Are we in the Gilded Age II, and should it be reigned in?

Is this period of big capitalist boom, lagging legislation, billionaire playground, defined and legitimate enough to be called the Siliconized Age / Gilded Age II? (I.e. do people consider it to be a real, parallel phenomenon) And should it be curbed with legislation, anti-competition commissions etc.? Or is the common and long term good such that we shouldn't stifle this boom period prematurely? Just an Ask HN to see what opinions are.
