Its the eventual evolution of the capitalist system. More and more power and money goes to less people. After all, capitalism is an experiment. How long has it been around in relation to human history? Humanity does not know the long term effects of capitalism. I think our major problem is that the powerful and rich in our government are the ones who make the decisions. The powerful and rich are not the majority (democracy). Furthermore, the government does not do what is for the majority. Adding our near totalitarianism attitude towards international affairs, and you have a nation bound to decay from within.
