And most all of those who were extremely wealthy before the great depression remained extremely wealthy afterwards. In fact many of them became even more wealth as they took advantage of those who were truly desperate. Not sure what point you're trying to make here. There doesn't appear to be one at all.

My point was, they had to give concessions in order to keep their wealth, because if they didn't they could had been overthrown.

And what concessions were those? That they had to become more wealthy than everyone else at a much slower pace while everyone else had to pick up the tatters of their lives?

Those poor 1%ers really got the shitty end of that deal.
