  24. RE: hachyderm.io/@inthehands/11673

    Do the rich think people will never rise up?

    "Musk is now a trillionaire, but a lot of innocent people could be shafted by this IPO, perhaps without their even noticing. It could be a huge redistribution from most of us to Elon and his buddies.

    "I don’t want to sound cynical, but this is the sort of thing that brings out the cynicism in me. It’s the story of rot at the core of American capitalism in this Second Gilded Age."

  29. how #capitalism destroys itself: #Inequality as structural feature: #wealth concentration has returned to #GildedAge levels in many countries. top 1% owns roughly 45% of global #wealth (= #assets such as #houses #land #water #energy #minerals)

    Demand erosion: Extreme #inequality hollows out #consumer base that #capitalism depends on.

    #seigniorage problem = private institution (or semi-private, as #Fed) has #power to create #money, captures enormous #wealth (#assets) simply through act of creation — before money has done anything productive

    most powerful + least visible form of #wealth #extraction ever invented
