“Throughout history, poverty is the
normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be
exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an
extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and
almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this
tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is
driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject
poverty.
“This is known as 'bad luck.'”
--Robert Heinlein
