When so few have so much, what do we become ourselves, within a moral economy that makes, say, 65 people "worth" as much as half the world's population? We become supplicants, customers, dupes, sycophants, witless admirers, investors, owners, professional advisors and enablers. Michael Edwards is doing a brave thing at his Transformation. He and his contributors are imagining a world that works on other principles.

Yeah, that busload of people worth half the globe is probably bs, but Thomas Piketty is cold serious about the contradictions of what the media call "capitalism". Is your Transformation like Distributism? I wish there were something that's reasonable.

No, we want to level up. Each person a billionaire, but not always at the same time. Each one a billionaire for a few minutes, or seconds. The Goddess Fortuna's Wheel, only turning faster and faster, so we all get the ride up as well as the ride down.
