Isn't this called late-stage capitalism?
I've been thinking for a couple years now that if the economic gap between the have's and the have not's continues to widen to a point of no return, it will eventually reach a point of critical mass where the have not's will just physically take back the wealth from the have's (and this stage will likely be further extrapolated by the political and environmental problems that are now so prevalent in today's world). May not happen for a while yet... but I don't think it'll be an if, but a when.
