Economy

"That natural selection will always act with extreme slowness, I fully admit. Its action depends on there being places in the polity of nature, which can be better occupied by some of the inhabitants of the country undergoing modification of some kind."

Darwin discusses natural selection in the biological sense, but it also exists in the economical sense. In my sociology class today, we were talking about how the Middle Class is slowly decreasing and will eventually end, just as some species are overpowered by those around them, resulting in extinction.
