Jack, keep worrying, but remember, most ofd the worrying you should leave to me, after all, it is part of my "well earned" inheritage (G). As for Marx, don'y throw the bay with the wash waters, he had some pretty good ideas and the humanized capitalism we have today (as compared to what he was seeing in 1848, including 10 years old in sweat shops for 14 hours day dying an early death ) is partially due to his foresight. By the way, you can condense his big tomes (Das Kapital) into the simple statement: "You'll never get rich from your own work".
Longer term I am not too worried, I am looking ant few hundred millions new potential consumers joining the great consumer society of the 21st century, we'll have bumps on the road to that utopia, but we'll get there.
