"Interesting article but isn't the above just another way of saying the survival of the fittest?" Today the situation is reversed. The children of the POOR are the one's surviving, prospering and multiplying, much more so than the children of the rich, as in the article, during the industrial revolution and before. Yes, but he is suggesting that the poor of today were the rich of years past. Does that imply that nature is correcting itself? Making humanity dumber? I understood the author to say that the poor of yesterday were inferior and squeezed out of existence by the progeny of the rich who were multiplying quickly. Hence, survival of the fittest!
