This article article gives a nice view inside the thinking of the very, very rich, also known as the ruling class or the capitalists.
The question is, if you have a society where wealth=power, why not have a stable concentration of both ruling? The alternative doesn't seem to be a broad-based democracy but a relentless fight of millionaire against millionaire where the majority is even powerless.
