"Democracy consolidates when elites do not have strong incentives to overthrow it. These processes depend on the strength of civil society, the structure of political institutions, the nature of political and economic crises, the level of economic inequality, the structure of the economy, and the form and extent of globalization."
Email clients should provide a way to indicate how long to keep an email. For example in a windows app like Outlook you should be able to right click on an email and select from a list of things like 'keep 2 weeks', 'keep 1 month, 'keep forever'.

If the question of income inequality interests you, I suggest you read
i sbn=9780521855266:

"Democracy consolidates when elites do not have strong incentives to overthrow it. These processes depend on the strength of civil society, the structure of political institutions, the nature of political and economic crises, the level of economic inequality, the structure of the economy, and the form and extent of globalization."
