I'm quite used to the scenario where there are multiple parties in competition, who try to maximize their own share of reasources. I often play 4X games where at the end there is only one left who owns everything (or in some cases there are others left who have sworn fealty or who have been peacefully absorbed into the empire of a single player). Taking this example to the real world (and noting the trends that were displayed in Bowser's vid) it seems like to maximize your wealth and to hamper your rivals (and yes, they do this all the time in the business world), that it naturally leads to fewer and fewer players.

Obviously this happens in the real world also, else the wealthiest would not be a smaller and smaller percent of the population. They are successfully playing to win. I do not (hopefully to counter more screams of "redistribution of wealth!!!!" that I hear coming) say this is a bad thing. Only that it is a fact.

I won't even bother to put the following into the form a question, since you are incapable of answering my questions. So I will predict a belief that I think you might have:

That there is some natural limiter or regulating device to keep there from being only one winner and everyone else as beholden to the winner. Further, that this limiter is set so that there can never be too few property owners and too many peons. So that this limiter allows you (but not the rest of us, because we haven't figured out what this limiter must be) to relax because it will always keep things from ever becoming unpleasantly extreme.

If that's so, could you turn me on to what this limiter is so I can relax too?
