Humanity's dilemma

I liked this quote
All the additional labor serves luxury and wealth, in contrast to the original labor that served the necessities of life.”
_________________________________________________________________
One of the earliest recorded treatises on economic expansion was written by Arabian philosopher Ibn Khaldun in 1377:
“When civilization [population] increases, the available labor again increases. In turn, luxury again increases in correspondence with the increasing profit, and the customs and needs of luxury increase. Crafts are created to obtain luxury products. The value realized from them increases, and, as a result, profits are again multiplied in the town. Production there is thriving even more than before ... All the additional labor serves luxury and wealth, in contrast to the original labor that served the necessities of life.”
So what do we do when population growth is no longer sustainable?
We must create new systems for distributing value and maintaining prosperity for a stable human population. But we’ve never had to do that before. Maintaining prosperity in a stable population will require new tools.

All these 99ers have the option to boycott the wealthy. If the 99ers only choose to have buisness dealings among themselves they would still be catering to the ones that supply their needs.
Who did they go to to get their daily meal or band aid during this occupy thing.
