I think this greatly speaks for a welfare state. If people have a certain safety net they are able to spend their time on things that advance the status quo.

It also reminds me of another study showing that poverty appears to result in mental capacity being constantly used up for what could be described as "worrying for money".

This makes sense, because you can be more focused as you have fewer distractions.
