Where wealth accumulates

In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, French economist Thomas Piketty documents how wealth is becoming concentrated in ever fewer hands. 

This might not be a problem were it not that capital is increasingly owned by shitheads. No doubt Piketty's capital/income ratio was on the high side in Tsarist Russia and medieval Florence, and they invented Tolstoy and the renaissance. 

But look at these shitheads. What will they invent?                                          

"Yeah, I know I don't deserve it, but
I'm damned if I'll give it back."

Are such people going to emulate Lorenzo the Magnificent and sponsor artists and scholars? Or is it more likely that they will order up fine wines and pour them over their bell-ends, howling with mirth while the planet goes to hell? Piketty fails to address this question.

It simply isn't sustainable that so many of the world's resources are controlled by people with the cultural level of baboons. As Zola* put it:

"On the morning when they felt their strength, millions of workers would be face to face with a few thousand idlers…. Men were springing forth, a black avenging army, germinating slowly in the furrows, growing towards the harvests of the next century, and their germination would soon overturn the earth."
