Concentration of wealth will be resolved by the crisis war, one way or another. Either it will be a rebellion that destroys the elites - along with a lot of nonelites - which can't end until the mob wins, or it will be a war where some of the elites destroy other elites, along with the losing side's nonelites, leaving space for upward mobility of the winning side's nonelites, a type of war that can't end until one side of elites undergoes "unconditional surrender", or basically total destruction of their wealth and power. The passions inflamed by crisis wars don't allow for reasonable compromise.
