The conditions change as power and wealth consolidate and redistribute.
The industrial revolution lead to the redistribution of power and wealth
because the old models couldn't be sustained.
However, the new system has now been mastered by those who were successful
and they can now use it to wield power and return to their usual business
of stripping power and wealth from others for themselves.
It will take another revolution of that magnitude to reverse the process.
