Historically, extreme wealth concentration and unchecked power often lead to instability. When a small elite controls most resources while the majority struggles, tensions rise, sometimes culminating in revolts or systemic shifts. You see this pattern in the fall of monarchies, revolutions, and even modern political movements. That said, whether the U.S. is heading toward such a breaking point is debatable. People are frustrated with inequality, but large-scale upheavals don’t happen overnight. Change can come through reform, protests, or, in extreme cases, revolutionary action—but predicting exactly how it will unfold is tricky.
