Opis

'Concentration of Wealth' is an argument that all powerful states and empires end in concentrations of wealth so dense and massive relative to that economy that decisions end up being made to no purpose than the acumulation by these powerful sectors of more wealth. The net result of this is usually unceasing wars that prove useless and counter productive, trade deals that harm the state but make massive sums of money for someone or something, speculation in money of too many kinds to list, and so on. The state becomes fatally weakened by massive concentrations of wealth. The political process becomes corrupt. A solution is suggested.
