"(02) It has a propensity to make the richer richer and the poorer poorer."
The poor in the first world are richer than the rich were for most of history. The poor in the third world are no poorer than in the past.
So no.
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoOr if you're a person in the third world (and assuming everything else about your statement is true, which I have doubts on) - we're still poor and the rich in the developed world are richer. So yes.
