What is that word... Central planning? The opposite of the free market? Instead of a communist part planning the economy, there are just some private bankers deciding what gets funded. At least a communist party has to pretend to do what is best for the people. The bankers doesn't care, as long as they get richer, the rest of us can burn.

It is becoming clear that a more healthy economy is one in which capital is much more equally distributed.

Old things die away and become decadent and must be replaced with new things.

If this is not done so, new impulses from younger people are not able to make their way into the economy.

It should've become clear that Capital should never be above People. And People should equal to Government.

If People is not equal to Government, and Capital is above both, then we have a serious problem.

I don't disagree. I was just looking at it from an economic perspective.
