Lloyd De Mause (1996) argued that early trauma results in aggressive adult behavior.
<blockquote>
That America has arranged to have more people on welfare – Gingrich’s
dreaded “underclass” – than any other industrialized country is a clue to why
nations need poor people to punish for their prosperity. Since it is prosperity and
threats of intolerable individuation that trigger the restaging of trauma, it makes
psychohistorical sense that America today – the most prosperous and freest nation
of any in history – has more women and children living in poverty than any other
industrialized nation. Nor is it coincidental that the world’s wealthiest country
has the highest child homicide rate and the most newborn boys [[circumcised]], both indices of society’s hostility towards children.<ref name="demause1996">{{REFjournal
