    The nature of capitalism will continue to aggregate the bulk of all capital into the hands of the very few and wages will continue to stagnate. The shrinking middle class will disappear. The same economic factors that led to the French and Russian revolutions will eventually bring down capitalism. I don't know what will replace it.
