I think you are rough on the author -- the author doesn't know they're complaining that the underclass is unexploitable -- they actually believe that 'entrepeneurs' can help the 'underclass' by selling them the right products, if only they'd try harder.

The author diagnoses the disease, but their prescription, 'innovating' new things to sell to the underclass (whether in the first or third world) -- will never cure it.

Don't normally do "pedant" posts but this is the second time I've seen it in this thread. The author is a she not a he :)

thank you! Will correct in my post with gender neutral wording, which I should have used from the start.
