I predict it won't be long, before there is a grid of low-flying surveillance drones hovering over every part of the world which is wealthy enough to have them.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
One cause which is not always observed of the insufficiency of riches is, that they very seldom make their owner rich. To be rich is to have more than is desired, and more than is wanted; to have something which may be spent without reluctance, and scattered without care, with which the sudden demands of desire may be gratified, the casual freaks of fancy indulged, the unexpected opportunities of benevolence improved.Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1759-09-08), The Idler, No. 73

Bite Size Economics No.5
'The rich don't spend enough'
The reason 'trickle-down economics' doesn't work is that while workers spend most of their income (a multiplier effect then passes money from hand to hand maintaining economic activity), the wealthy 'invest' much of their money in assets (mostly property of various sorts).
This 'investment' takes money out an economy, tying it up in speculative asset markets, with no multiplier spreading it around!
