"Though, to tell you the truth, my dear More, I don’t see how you can ever get any real justice or prosperity, so long as there’s private property, and everything is judged in terms of money - unless you consider it just for the worst sort of people to have the best living conditions, or unless you’re prepared to call a country prosperous, in which all the wealth is owned by a tiny minority - who aren’t entirely happy even so, while everyone else is simply miserable."

Thomas More (1478-1535) Specific predictions of the problems of capitalism pointed out 500 years ago. Is this to say that these problems actually solve themselves over time and will get better again or does it show that we’ve simply been getting worse and worse over the years, getting to the age of ‘the 1%’?
