So the ever increasing

So the ever increasing population doesn't descend into desparate poverty.

What else is going to put a check on the ever increasing population besides desperate poverty? It seems that the problem is not that there is not enough to go around, but that there is an uneven distribution of wealth. Increasing productivity and economic gain only mean that the people at the top will be able to engage in more and more decadent and superfluous luxuries.
