"and now the exploited have been drained dry". I do not think this is true in the absolute currently. I do think that the modern economies are imparting pressures that will make this more true over time. The question every one asks is "What is the point?". The answer is increasingly, there is no point. What about the answers previous generation might have had; send money home, improve life chances with an education, provide for a family, get a foot on the ladder, eat. I think 20 years from now on one side looks like very low birth rates, mass homelessness and high suicide rates. For those that own assets now - a Parisian utopia surrounded by the former. And for those that do continue to try, a room the size of a double bed containing an on-suite bathroom, kitchen diner, living-room and sleeping space - all in one! with no prospect of ownership.
