"There is no untapped source of demand anywhere in the world."
I understand what you mean, as in the current structure of governments/economies, there isn't a magic wellspring of demand.
Centralization of wealth starves demand, whether it is in authoritarian governments or an oligarchy/kleptocracy. The US certainly has been doing that for the last 50 years. I think there is a lot of demand and growth that is suppressed by the, uh, overindulgence of the "elite".
The elite care about the gap between them and the plebs. The rich love slaves, and that is their ultimate goal.
