Income in societies (not only market economies, but all economies with some kind of money) is a function of one's relative power in the society. There's nothing absolute in one's income in money (as universal equivalent) connected to productive powers' development.

If that power is mostly held by government bureaucrats and corporations, naturally the conditions for population growth will not be very good.

And government bureaucracy and corporations like each other because they can have some balance of power while trampling everyone else, so government bureaucracy will not fight corporations to death.

Good luck.
