I see your point; from the point of view of the capitalist, if they're making enough to be keep their wealth, and their income
is sufficient to hire the army of servants, and potential competion from below is hamstrung, then as far as they're
concerned, the system works fine.

That's my point. To the super-wealthy man, if his wealth is reduced to a quarter of what it was, but everyone else is on the edge of destitution, then he's better off. Flunkies become much more eager to please if the alternative is starvation, and there are lots of pretty girls suddenly much more eager to share his dinner table (and bed). He can live out in the beautiful woods without uppity developers trying to build tasteless McMansions nearby for the upper middle class
