^ very good points in a short time
I would like to add that there is a difference in "riches" and "wealth". So it is necissarry to differintiate between the two in this discussion to avoid some confusion.
The only thing that I could add is that if you look at various points in history and the economic ebbs and flows, there does seem to be significant turmoil on the masses in points where the disparity of "wealth" is great.
Once there can be an application of wealth (i.e. mass production of the automobile) than you can see a benefit to it and microecenomic advances can be attributed thusly.
