HI Hatem,

thank your comment. I am always open to healthy debate and from my view of the world I don’t think anything is an inevitable outcome. Yes crime is work too which is an excellent point, and it is a reality of our world but its an upsurge in violence (more so than any other time in history) is not a necessity from my view.

Crime in the US has been on the decline for some time now. That said in the developing world I’m sure it’s a different story of which I will explore further on your provocation.

My concern over crime from techno-oligarchs is more to do with healthy market competition, consumer choice and a robust middle class instead of ever increasing disparity. There are lot of interconnected things at play.

I have yet to read this: http://www.misfiteconomy.com/
but do know its premise which touches to your point about crime as work which I think is both under-explored and often overseen. So thank you for highlighting.

best,
Jonas
