This is tautological. Control of the means of production defines what “rich” is in the industrial world.

  What parent means is that the the "means of production" are also a beneficial technology in themselves...

    But its not like the "rich" could let the "not rich" have that beneficial technology because once you have that technology you become "rich". So it's a meaningless example.

      Yeah I mean that's my point. Societal control has continually stayed in the hands of the few.
