Ok, let's have a real debate.
Do more people being now more literate than ever (remember that centuries ago only 2% of people could read at best) means that literature is now more popular than ever?
I'm being optimistic, sure, the publishing industry is trying to adapt to the internet, but it seems there's not better time to be a writer than today.
So, I'm being bias or do I have real reasons why the market has become bigger every year for writers?
Is not like there will be one or two more billion non westeners who will become new middle class in less than ten years.

No. The population is just growing at such a rate to pad the statistic. The average person these days meets the level of literacy required to dissect a paragraph-long or so Facebook post, which is still even too much for some people. There are psychological effects of Twitter posts being limited to 140 characters, you know.

Education should be reserved for the elites (I don't care if that doesn't include m)
Teaching women and plebs how to read and write was a big mistake

It simply means we move from illiteracy to functional illiteracy, look it up.

More like the entire nation should receive an elitist education.
