I upvoted you, but you are talking about smaller time scales. In Rome, between 15% and 35% were hereditary slaves. Then for a thousand years, the majority of the European population were serfs (freer than slaves). In the last 150 years, most people in Europe and in the US are able to choose their own jobs. That's the transition I am talking about. I think the fiat money and current war on free enterprise will ultimately end with a regime change.
