The Minoan civilization developed Mediterranean Polyculture, that is the practice of growing more than one crop at the time, which resulted in a healthier diet for the population, and a population growth. Additionally, it preserved the fertility of the soil, unlike when only one crop is growing. This was not yet at standard- the Minoan civilization developed between 2000 and 1000 BC.
With a healthy population, the Minoans could also engage in trade with other places, such as with mainland Greece, which especially valued its pottery.

These brought about the time known as Prohibition. Liquor was illegal. A subculture would grow out it. The rise of speakeasies, moonshiners, rum runners, and the mob. The time of the gangster would evolve as they would use the illegal businesses to funnel cash and make themselves rich. Men like Babyface, Al Capone, and John Dillenger would rise to both fame and infamy.
In my opinion, yes, there are still groups who are disenfranchised and not considered as an equal source of power in our democracy. An example of these people is those in the lower class of the society. In today's setting, only the 'representatives' have power and those whom they represent do not. <span />
