A great many of our problems (in much of the developed world to varying extent) stem from just this. Below: a chart of "share of gross national income from wages", read this as "Labor Share of Income." https:/&#x2F

I think the general rule of thumb is, wherever money moves to, people will absorb it - in the same way bacteria or fungi absorbs biological material. This is not often greed but the result of a chaotic system of (mostly) rational actors try

I picked up on the context of all the human experiences we perceive as wrapped up in those items - as sorts of resiviors for human emotion and symbols of self actualization. I think a more apt analogy would be: you wouldn't host an est
