backlash

It seems to me that humanity is self-correcting, after a fashion. The pendulum has swung pretty far in the direction where a small handful of people own almost everything in the world and everyone else struggles and strives; it is absurd to imagine it can go in that direction indefinitely. Sooner or later the pendulum has to swing back, and when it does, it will swing almost as far in the opposite direction. At least if the pendulum metaphor is valid, it will. Regardless. The further it goes in this direction, the stronger the eventual backlash will be, because it's impossible that it goes this direction forever.
