CJ, > There are increasing mechanisms for keeping the poor, poor. And the rich, rich.

You've got it backwards. Left to its own devices, society tends to gravitate toward the rich getting richer at the expense of the poor, because the rich get to write the rules. Yet such a society cannot sustain itself.

This is what the BNW seeks to counter. Take total control of society based on what the grand creators think is needed. (I forgot what those creators are called in the book, and I don't feel like looking it up.) There is no class struggle because everything is already pre-determined. Free will is restricted to that of the creators.

Sounds like Karl Marx's wet dream, not to mention that of every socialist. Of course, each and every socialist hopes to BE one of the grand creators.
