The idea of a middle class exists, because the continuing notion that a ruling class should dominate and exploit the rest... continued to explode into revolution and war...No?
I didn't edit anything in your post other than the part where the quotes got screwed up.(I promise)

You talking about two world wars? That were fought because of the barriers to trade that were errected....which justified the creation of the Bretton Woods agreement, the World bank and IMF to facilitate trade liberalization to avoid any similar wars in the future?
