I think this is a failure of merit distribution. Technology,collaboration, and industrialization solved scarcity. Capitalists argue that it was capitalism which spurned the extreme speed of these advancements - I'd argue that society was already having it's advancements accelerate. I'd argue that we solved scarcity directly in spite of capitalism, which only feeds off this advancement parasitically.
