‘He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity’
(Ecclesiastes, 5.10).
Ever since we’ve been human, we have understood the damage that can be done by the monopolisation of wealth and power. From earliest times we developed ways to prevent it in our communities – burying it with the owner, holding regular debt jubilees where everyone went back to a baseline, taxing the marginal income of the extremely rich at rates that made further accumulation pointless.
Profit for profit’s sake is vanity.
It’s also destroying our ability to live well. Even our ability to live at all on this world.
Are you happy with that?
If not, and you’re wondering where and how to get started, this tool I helped to build will help you see the system, so you can change the system:
