A. The Consequences of Our Current Rules
1. All our money flows through our companies to the billionaires and that is why there is so much inequality today
Current financial regulations favor a small, elite group of the ultra-rich. As a result, our money is leaking to these super-rich, leaving the rest of society behind and widening the gap between rich and poor.
2. The current extreme inequality is destabilizing our societies and is the cause of the current crisis in our world
Extreme inequality fuels unrest, conflict, and division. Instead of creating stability, the current financial rules push our communities and economies toward crisis.
3. Because the current rules are the cause of the current crisis, we can only solve the crisis with new rules
Politicians and governments are stuck—unable to solve the crisis. Yet there is hope: bold new rules can break the deadlock and set humanity on a different path. We stand at a crossroads, and the choice is ours.
B. Three New Rules
The world is in crisis—not because humanity lacks wealth, but because wealth is hoarded, distorted, and concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite. Inequality is tearing at the fabric of society, workers are excluded from the prosperity they create, and governments are locked in a race to the bottom while the ultra-rich move their fortunes across borders.
It does not have to be this way. With three clear, practical rules, we can rewrite the foundations of the global economy and build a system that works for everyone:
1. Tax Extreme Wealth
No society needs billionaires. Beyond a certain point, individual fortunes stop serving progress and start undermining democracy, equality, and freedom. By taxing extreme wealth, we ensure the ultra-rich remain comfortable but no longer obscenely powerful.
For example:
- A 30% annual tax on wealth above €10 million or
- A 40% annual tax on wealth above €50 million
The exact thresholds and rates can be refined, but the principle is simple: extreme inequality ends, idle capital is unlocked, and wealth once hoarded is put back to work in the real economy.
2. Share Profits Fairly with Workers
Companies do not succeed because of shareholders alone. They succeed because of the millions of workers who make them run every single day. Yet too often, those workers are shut out of the wealth they help create.
We propose a fair system of profit-sharing: when a company makes over €5 million in profit, half of the surplus above that threshold must be distributed among its employees. The details can be debated, but the rule is clear: prosperity belongs to everyone who builds it, not just to those who own shares.
3. Make the Rules Global
Fairness cannot be confined within national borders. If these rules apply only in one country, wealth will flee to tax havens and corporations will play nations against each other. That is why these measures must be applied worldwide. Global coordination can shut down tax havens, stop the race to the bottom, and make sure wealth and power cannot simply escape responsibility.
These new rules reward work over passive wealth. They reduce inequality, strengthen democracy, and create economies that are more resilient, more just, and more humane.
By adopting them, humanity takes a decisive step forward—away from a world ruled by billionaires, and toward a future that belongs to all of us.

D. Bring this Story into The Streets
Today, unimaginable fortunes are locked away in the hands of the super-rich—wealth that should be flowing through our economies, building homes, funding schools, and sustaining our planet. Instead, it fuels poverty, deepens inequality, and destabilizes entire societies.
We see the damage all around us: families displaced, housing out of reach, health systems under strain, communities divided, wars and unrest spreading, and a planet suffocating under pollution.
But it does not have to be this way. With three bold new rules—outlined above and in the book—we can release trapped wealth, rebalance our economies, and create a fairer world for everyone.
Change begins in the streets, in workplaces, in living rooms, and in cafés. Every conversation is a spark. Share this story with your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. Stand together, speak loudly, and carry this vision into the public square.
Sparks become flames. Flames become fire. Together, we can set the world alight with change.
