Plutocratization Can Be Helped By Welfare: Rome

One of the cause of the increasing inequality is simply that those who control public opinion (media owners and managers, pundits), are, in general, very wealthy, or sympathetic to wealth, in the USA. Thus appears a strong pro-plutocratic bias in the media. That same effect is characteristic of banana republics. It makes it unlikely that a civilized debate will get out of the plutocratic comfort zone. Thus, insensibly, inequality and poverty augment. The case of Rome, where panem, circenses and alimenti (food stamps) were inaugurated show an alarming point: welfare programs can comfort plutocratization. http://patriceayme.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/1914-imprinting-emotions-rule-iii/
