I wish it didn’t but historically and logically speaking, there’s no other way.
The unethical stone cold people rise to the top, and the few who are powerful yet maintain their morals are not nearly powerful enough to fight the rest. Critical change has always come about with revolutions, either violent or technological. And I don’t think technology can improve anything for us at this point, if anything it will make things harder.
Yea, I sure as hell would rather find balance at the hands of peace but has that ever happened? Has a collective known to hoard resources ever in history amicably decided to give back what they took? Nothing I’ve ever read* indicates yes. Once your rent goes up it’s never going back down. Humans are, imho, innately evil - as in the tendency to cause harm to others for personal gain and fulfillment is a basic human/animal* drive. The hoarding population ain’t giving shit back. We’re gonna have to take it back. Shoulda never been so fucking gullible to begin with.
The sad part is that it wasn’t always like this. Hunter gatherer communities cared for their pack (with a few exceptions, like sick and disabled members that can’t keep up) because if the pack survives then they will survive as well. But with the advent of agriculture, individualism popped up more and more, the good of all no longer meant as much.
That’s a really unhealthy diet. Don’t do that!
But honestly: As long as you have a smart elite, you can change things for the better by getting enough people to protest loudly and a few to protest violently.
If your elite has degenerated to much over the generations your only option is revolution, which is usually bloody and not fun.
Did any of us really need an “economics study” to reach this conclusion? Now how do we fix it? Eat the rich?
I honestly believe it’ll take physical violence to get back what’s been taken.

Technology is a tool of the wealthy. Tesla has shown us that.
Yes comrade, it will
That’s the cool part–power and money manipulates the game itself through regulatory capture, tending to resist attempts to fix it.
