A. Extreme Wealth
More and more people are struggling with rising costs. At the same time, the super-rich are getting richer and richer. Take a moment to watch the video below. It powerfully illustrates the extreme gap of wealth between the super-rich and the rest of us. Then study the following chapters to understand how this extreme inequality also causes the other major problems in our world, such as poverty, refugees, pollution, social unrest and wars.
B. Three Professors
1. Professor Ricchiuti
Check out below TED talk by Professor Ricchiuti—it’s a powerful wake-up call. He reveals how the extreme concentration of wealth among the super-rich is actually holding our economies back. As he says, “Something really needs to change.”
In the talk, Ricchiuti explains that big corporations, largely owned by the wealthiest 1%, are sitting on billions in cash, but instead of reinvesting it to create jobs or boost innovation, they’re buying back their own shares and increasing dividends. This boosts their stock prices—and the wealth of the super-rich—while doing little for everyday workers or the real economy. While financial engineering has delivered record profits to those at the top, it’s leaving out everyone else.
But here’s the key takeaway: there is a better way forward. It’s time to push for an economy that works for everyone, one that prioritizes real growth, opportunity, and shared prosperity. Watch the video, get inspired, and join the call for change—because together, we can build an economy that lifts us all.
2. Professor Piketty
Watch below the inspiring video by Professor Piketty, where he lays out four powerful steps to build a fairer, stronger future for all of us.
In his talk, Piketty highlights the changes that could transform our economies and bring about real opportunity. First, he advocates for fair tax progressivity—ensuring everyone pays their share. Next, he calls for a global financial registry to increase transparency, keeping wealth in check. He emphasizes making education and well-paying jobs accessible to all, helping people thrive. Lastly, he points to reducing public debt, which would allow for vital investments in education, health, environmental protection, and infrastructure.
These aren’t just ideas—they’re the building blocks of a brighter future. Imagine a world where opportunity is within everyone’s reach, and where our shared resources fuel progress, not just for a few, but for all. Watch the video and let’s commit to pushing for these essential changes. Together, we can create a more equitable world, one step at a time.
3. Professor Tobochnik
In below eye-opening TED talk, Professor Tobochnik uses a powerful mathematical model to show how we can tackle one of today’s biggest challenges: the extreme concentration of wealth. His conclusion? A global wealth tax is the key to stopping the harmful effects this imbalance has on our economies and societies.
“This is not a crazy idea,” he says. Backed by groundbreaking research from economist Thomas Piketty, Tobochnik highlights how a worldwide tax on wealth could bring transformative change. Why global? Because it prevents wealth from being hidden, ensuring fairness and transparency across borders.
Imagine a world where wealth supports communities instead of accumulating in the hands of a few. This solution isn’t just theoretical—it’s achievable. Watch the video, get inspired, and join the movement toward a balanced, prosperous future for everyone. Together, we can push for change that benefits all of us, not just the few.
C. Four Revelations
1. The Big Flaw in our Financial System Fixed by Three New Rules
The video below shines a light on a simple but powerful truth: our financial system is designed to favor a tiny, ultra-wealthy few, leaving most people behind. The current rules don’t just allow this—they drive it, widening the gap between rich and poor.
But recognizing this problem is the first step toward change. This “Message of Hope” encourages us to imagine and create a financial system that benefits everyone. Picture a world where wealth supports communities, opens doors, and improves lives—not just for a few, but for all.
This isn’t just about money—it’s about fairness, dignity, and a future where everyone has a chance to thrive. Let this message inspire action. Together, we can reshape the system and turn this vision into reality.
The world is at a turning point. As inequality rises and environmental crises worsen, we can no longer stick to the status quo. Outdated financial systems and political gridlock have created a world where the rich get richer while everyone else struggles. It’s time to break this cycle.
It’s time for New Rules:
- Wealth Tax: Impose a 30% tax on assets over €10 million to reduce extreme wealth concentration and promote balance.
- Profit Sharing: Require companies to share 50% of their profits with employees, ensuring fair income distribution and empowering workers.
- Tax Relief for Workers: Lower taxes on labor to ease financial pressure on individuals and families.
These steps are only the beginning. For a deeper understanding, explore the accompanying book, which offers practical strategies to promote fair wealth distribution, empower workers, and safeguard our planet.
These aren’t just dreams—they’re real solutions to the big challenges we face. Let’s work together to build a fairer, more sustainable future. Together, we can take the next step for humanity!
2. The Vicious Cycle of Unrest and Wars is caused by our Financial System
The video below reveals a powerful truth: while humanity often faces cycles of inequality and conflict, these challenges also bring opportunities for transformation. Major conflicts, though destructive, can reset economic systems and open the door to rebuilding with fairness and inclusivity.
Post-War Resets:
- Rebuilding Together: Wars disrupt traditional wealth structures, creating opportunities to prioritize fairness during recovery. Communities often come together to rebuild, fostering collaboration and equity.
- Temporary Equality: Post-war reforms, like progressive taxation and public investments, can reduce inequality and empower more people to participate in society.
Challenges to Equality:
- Systemic Issues: Financial loopholes and deregulation allow wealth to flow back to the super-rich, undoing progress.
- Re-concentration of Wealth: Without ongoing reforms, economic recovery often leads to rising inequality and renewed social tensions.
By learning from history, we can break the cycle of inequality and conflict. Together, let’s champion fairness, transparency, and shared prosperity to build a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Let’s create a world based on equality and cooperation.
3. We are in a Political Impasse: Humanity is at a crucial moment
The world faces urgent challenges: rising living costs, wars, and climate change. Yet, political systems remain stuck. Left-leaning parties call for higher taxes, while right-leaning parties argue this will make things worse. Both sides have valid points, but neither offers a real solution, leaving us in a stalemate.
Still, there is hope. Humanity is at a turning point. We can either continue with broken national politics, letting wealth concentrate in the hands of a few, or come together globally to create bold laws that return wealth and opportunity to the working majority.
The choice is ours, as the video below explains.
4. Accelerating our Current Evolutionary Step: the ‘Financial Revolution’
Humanity has reached some major milestones in its evolution and is about to take the next evolutionary step by changing its financial system. Below are the major evolutionary steps of humanity.
1. Bipedalism (≈ 6–7 million years ago)
One of the earliest defining traits of human evolution was walking upright on two legs. This adaptation freed the hands for tool use and carrying, improved energy efficiency for long-distance travel, and provided a better vantage point for spotting predators.
2. Tool Use and Manufacture (≈ 3.3 million years ago)
Early human ancestors, like Australopithecus and later Homo habilis, began making and using tools. This marked a key shift in problem-solving abilities and survival strategies, as tools allowed access to new food sources (e.g., meat and marrow) and offered protection.
3. Mastery of Fire (≈ 1 million–300,000 years ago)
The ability to control fire was a transformative moment in human evolution. Fire provided warmth, protection from predators, and the ability to cook food, which made it easier to digest and more energy-rich, supporting brain development.
4. Language and Complex Communication (≈ 300,000 years ago or earlier)
The evolution of complex language allowed humans to share detailed information, cooperate on a large scale, and pass on knowledge across generations.
5. Agricultural Revolution (≈ 10,000 years ago)
The shift from hunting and gathering to farming and domesticating animals marked a profound change in human lifestyles. It enabled permanent settlements, population growth, and the rise of complex societies but also introduced challenges like disease and social inequality.
6. Technological and Industrial Revolutions (past 300 years)
Advances in science and technology (e.g., the printing press, steam engines, electricity) drastically altered human life, enabling global communication, mass production, and medical breakthroughs. These changes profoundly influenced humanity’s trajectory and our impact on the planet.
7. Financial revolution (past 15 years and coming years)
Humanity discovers that the financial system is flawed and that it leads to extreme inequality, leading to social unrest and wars. Humanity is about to take the next evolutionary step by changing its financial system. Accelerate this revolution by leaving your vote on this website!
