Morgan Chase, Northrop Grumman, Target, University of Phoenix, Walmart, and Wells Fargo are among the most recognizable of the worst offenders.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Georgia, " times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" serif="serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb" line-height="line-height" em="em" important="important" padding-bottom="padding-bottom">These ventures abhor resilience, and not in a Schumpertarian "Creative Destruction" way. Elites have required a permanently dispossessed untouchable caste ready to rent its labor for crumbs since the inception of capitalism - when enclosure movements in Europe forced people off common lands. As early-industrial era English economist Arthur Young said in 1771, "everyone but an idiot knows that the lower classes must be kept poor, or they will never be industrious." He was only one of many early capitalist thinkers who advocated for indigence as an engine of industrial progress. Michael Perelman documented many more examples of this in his book <em>The Invention of Capitalism</em>. As <a href="http://exiledonline.com/recovered-economic-history-everyone-but-an-idiot-knows-that-the-lower-classes-must-be-kept-poor-or-they-will-never-be-industrious/%20" target="blank" style="color: rgb(156, 22, 46); outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Yasha Levine described in a review</a>, Adam Smith himself estimated that "a factory-peasant would have to toil for more than three days to buy a pair of commercially produced shoes. Or they could make their own traditional brogues using their own leather in a matter of hours, and spend the rest of the time getting wasted on ale. It's really not much of a choice, is it?" Thus was the free market built upon coercion.
