Maybe I misunderstand, but I don't agree with the "Permanent Underclass":

> Socially: there is no more social mobility, your lot in life is determined by how much capital you had when the music stopped. Growing your human capital is no longer incentivized, since it doesn’t change your life outcomes.

One way to change that is violence, right? Not that it is necessarily desirable, but that makes this situation "non permanent"?
