It is actually.
It used to be that the rate at which families rose and fell was such new money was the majority of rich people as most lost their wealth in a few generations.
The interesting implication of this to me is that it means rich people are going to be fighting each other more. As less new wealth pools in they’ll squabble at greater rates to access their families wealth.
Hopefully we see more trust fund babies murdering their parents going forward.
Maybe. Sometimes it seems like the only people who understand class solidarity are the absurdly wealthy
That's because there are less of them. Much easier to convince a crowd of 100 than 1000.
