Is increasing economic inequality inevitable without catastrophe?

I think it is fair to say that extreme wealth often comes with the side effect of invincibility, and this makes perfect sense when you think about it… If you possess significant, and secure wealth, you are less likely to feel the survival instinct that naturally (and involuntarily) comes with being poor, or being a member of the fickle working-class.

The ‘ruling class’ are generally made up of those with significant and secure wealth, and since they are the ones making the rules, well… you can connect the dots.

With that being said, some income inequality is healthy, and necessary.
