>>What would social mobility downwards look like? Cannot find the decadence from wealth to newly poor. That worries me. The only example of gracious return to natural size.

Examples and solutions needed.

One particularly needed thing world wide (with possible exception of places like Scandinavia) is reduction in world population.

Less consumers --> less consumption --> stretching scarce resources further.

Not however, the path we are on.
