>capital concentration increases

>expectations for what capital owners can do with money increases

>expectations exceed available capital

>investment returns must increase (race to the top)

>cooperation among capital owners must increase to get better returns

>capital owning group begins to self-select and become less diverse, if this wasn't already caused by the background/personality required to accrue capital

>investment theory converges on a handful of "winning" ventures

>because this is where capital is flowing, workers are forced to divert to these ventures

>competition increases, hyperspecialization increases

>expertise in and sophistication of other areas begins to decline, causing quality decline, garnering less investment; feedback loop
