The downstream effect of our fast-growing population on compensation, even for technically demanding positions, is already one of reduced income. Mercantilism has become the principal driver of expense decisions. The continued distribution of goods depends upon enough money flowing between consumer and investor to justify an ongoing interest in any business. Need for capital rises. Need for workers drops.
Disposable income falls.

The increased importance of currency markets is a good demonstration of free-market failure, especially with regard to the percentage of gross global product their output represents. The unbridled application of this maxim points out yet another poor fit in the puzzle. Such an active diversion of huge layers of capital away from wealth-building cannot help but have broad negative consequences. The defense of a structure of wealth privilege must bear the weight of responsibility for institutionalizing poverty.
