Thanks for both points shakyu. As you suggest, it depends where you sit, and the bottom line for wealth creation now as ever is the toil of peasants, whether in Europe or Africa or south east Asia. There is a global pecking order now, but it's debatable which peasants have it better in many cases (cost of living plays a role in that debate, a thing set by the wealthy when it comes down to it, and a concept that affects the poor only negatively). In some (example you gave) there's no contest, and we all benefit materially from the suffering, and either pretend or are supremely ignorant of it happening. The world we live in now is in many ways more brutal than ever, on a grander scale. And as always, the wealth from that brutality goes into the pockets of the richest and out of the hands of the poorest.
