But this is your peculiar interpretation.  I have a theory of where
differential ownership comes from -- coercively stolen products of human
work.  I think that explains a very great deal about actual history and
future likelihoods, including where the stolen surpluses come from.  Without
purposive human labor, wealth usually does not grow quickly enough to yield
economic surpluses and social classes.
