But that's not a conspiracy. It might be an oligarchy.
A conspiracy requires acting in concert to achieve a certain goal. You can't prove that the "ruling elites" have acted in concert to achieve the goal of putting others in poverty. What they act in is self interest, the poverty of others is an unfortunate side effect.
Before you can talk about conspiracy theories you need to know what a conspiracy is.
