The other thing is that the theory assumes decent to abundant resources. When resources become scarce it changes things. The divide between poor and rich is increased. If youre a rich merchant class person in a scarce resource economy, its hard to follow that theory and not hurt some group of people. The theory only works if there are "extra" resources sitting around and otherwise being unused.
