However, where the money is might be indicative of some set of economic priorities / incentive structures that are out of balance in some way.
So, the fact that all of that money is flowing to that particular (relatively) small group of economic players might actually indicate a system that isn't treating you as well as it could be.
Example: If people make a hundred times the amount of money by going to Wall Street and trading paper assets, then they could possibly make in some science like Engineering, then you're going to have alot of people forsaking engineering and moving to Wall Street.
So maybe there's more "wealth" and money, but maybe there are fewer inventions of things that could be bought with that money.
