My read of history is that the social, political, moral, and economic glue of societies becomes problematic as wealth inequality grows to historic levels.

Has it occurred to you that the effects of free-market economies are adding totally unprecedented effects to mankind and writing a brand NEW kind of history? Did you absorb absolutely NOTHING of what I posted about WEALTH BEING BASED ON PRODUCTIVITY AND PRODUCTIVITY BEING EXPANDABLE????? Or are you personally hurting so bad financially that you would rather project your situation on the whole world and become a griper/complainer/blamer instead of changing or adding to your own business/work endeavors?

Actually I am doing quite well financially, thanks for asking.
And, I can read quite well also. What I am trying to point out is that the wealth of everybody is, in fact, not increasing. During the recent recession and jobless recovery, most hard-working families with low incomes actually lost financial assets. It is the conditions of those you quote and scream that are not met during the recent past. And, I, at least, would prefer to keep this discussion to the substance instead of personal psychologizing or attributing bad motives to ideas you personally happen not to agree with.
