Technological development (excluding AI agents) enables freedom of the masses if and only if the masses simultaneously and continuously pursue their self-interests instead of getting abused by the minority who achieve / maintain wealth (in order to achieve their self-interests) by abusing others. The average human never evolved to pursue their self-interests in this sense. They recognise stealing and killing when done in front of them by primitive means. But debts, employment et cetera are beyond this comprehension.
