I don't think of it that way. Even the most destitute person can go to the ER and get medical treatment that Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller or JP Morgan couldn't buy with their entire fortune. It's not always free, but it's available. Most people living near or above the poverty line can afford devices fit in their pocket and instantly share information with anyone on the planet. Entire ivy league university courses are instantly available for free anywhere with an internet connection. We've developed the technology that we were able to because we could. Wealth inequality sucks, minimum wage sucks, environmental pollution sucks, but we aren't doing all that bad for a bunch of apes just trying to figure things out.
