Thought i was seeing double, already been involved in another thread like this in economics: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/80-richest-people-on-the-planet-have-the-same-wealth-as-the-poorest-50-929546
What is so frustrating is we all know the problem yet we appear to be paralyzed by it. When most people read these types of figures i feel like their main react would be to panic and try to get more wealth to be "safe". The elites probably promote these facts/figures.

In the fantastic series of monologues by Buckminster Fuller - Everything I Know - session 03 (entire) - January 22, 1975, he calculated that technologically we would reach a point in the curve where we could provide 50% of the worlds population with the equivalent of 100 human slaves. i.e not slaves but technological devices that could do the equivalent amount of work. This possibility was achieved between 1970 and 1975. He also describes how at the time of the second world war The US GDP was equivalent to 200 human slaves per capita 100 of which was being enjoyed by the families of citizens and 100 being used in the Industrial military complex.

To fully understand this brilliant mind of Fuller take the time to see the whole series as each principal he introduces follows from earlier ones, as these tapes were only recently converted to digital some of the picture quality is poor but the audio is still good and provide some worthwhile insights into his thinking and observations.
