I suppose the rich elites will have to change something, probably by educating the youth about money (basically teaching them their "tricks"), or at some point the economical divide will get so big that their status and belongings will be in jeopardy. It is important that people feel that there is at least the possibility of climbing the social ladder. If this possibility disappears from the perception of a big number of people the awakening will not be pretty.


You must be middle class. In fact, what you described in precisely what the vast majority of the lower class feels like, and grew up feeling like.

You should read the book "Pedagogy of the Oppressed," it's a classic and I bet it'll open your eyes. You might like it.


Thanks for the recommendation but it's really not a topic of interest for me. I was just idly speculating what might happen if one day a generation emerges that doesn't feel that their children can have a better life than they have. I think there might be some interesting developments. But there are far more qualified people to talk about such things. :)
