In his letter, released Monday, he said he believes that more participation in stock markets and a revamped Social Security program<strong> <\/strong>could be the answer to closing that wealth gap.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph_elevate\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmn36ecet00013b6rqlci3i2w@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            \u201cWhen we talk about the economic disruption of AI, most of the conversation is about jobs,\u201d said Fink, whose asset management firm handles more than $14 trillion of clients\u2019 money, in the letter. \u201cThat\u2019s an enormously important question, and one that goes beyond economics.
