Our access and use of resources have changed dramatically. It's no longer true that to have few people living like the kings we need to have a large number of people exploited. Well, maybe we are not exactly there yet but we have come such a long way that we have an incredibly high count of people living very good lives.

Many fights of the political elites are more and more about their personal egos than biological or natural necessities of the population they are responsible for.

Sure, there are still issues and global risks that may undo our progress but overall we are approaching a future where we are no longer depended on large political institutions but since we have these in place they will continue doing their thing and the risks will be due to fighting between those institutions.
