Sure, but the point in the comment I replied to was that we need to keep people busy (not only with their material needs covered) to avoid violence and revolts.

Sure, but the point in the comment I replied to was that we need to keep people busy (not only with their material needs covered) to avoid violence and revolts. The case of Spain or Portugal seems to tell us that as long as people have basic needs covered, they don't necessarily fight or revolt much.
