Tech and the City

It should be inarguable to say that the improvement in tech over the centuries has improved the lot of everyone, even those who dont use it much.it has increased the total amount of available wealth to all.

That is nothing to do with perceived wealth inequality which always exists - the Rich like the Poor are always with us.

But weath inequality can't continually get greater there is always a limit beyond which lies very bad things - a quasi-communist / facist revolution is ony one of the possibilities - another fincial collapse is a distinct possibility.

it might pay the elite to ensure that at least they dont own too much and share some of that power, you know democratically?
