Thanks for trying, but, in my opinion, your analysis is too narrow and soutions too fanciful.

One avenue you left out was that until Labor organized themselves into Unions, the Industrial Revolution ran roughshod over everyone and every thoing (socially and politically and ethically). That started with the Robber Barons circa 1890. That's my three cent addition for your consideration, anyways.

By the by, there's always somebody who tries to rule the roost and is willing to manipulate, destroy, and kill whatever stands in their way. Oh, and also by the by, Jesus said things would get very bad and grow continually worse until God the Father decides enough is enough and brings the curtain down.

Not for nothing.
