Indeed the imbalance is what Dini focused on, producing the Dini index, that everybody knows is true, but which we move further and further away from, exponentially, the ideals of, nonetheless.
Its a little like global warming, we know what we'd like, temperature reduction, but it never happens, we just accelerate the temperature rise.
You are absolutely correct imho, that what we need is a system where billionaires are no longer possible, but we will never achieve it as long as we frame it like that, of course oligarchs will just use their power defefensively to maintain and consolidate their power.
To understand the solution, energy has to be mathematically signed in order to audit it, and this upsets everyone pretty quick because it takes us down a rabbit hole that traces all the problems to profit, which we all live on, but worse, it shows we are a destructive evil force, all part of it, and actually all hoodwinked by an evil superhuman, inhuman force, as something like system-blind energy-slave ants, commodificaton of education has blinded us to the damage we do, we actually live in an imaginary world of enshittopia, virtue signalling when that is questioned, hypersensitive to real criticism. We put the oligarchs in charge, we create the system that enslave not just us but them too, though they are higher up the chain, it's all energy slavery, maintained by scarcification of the energy supply to the social strata below, both slavers and enslaved are enslaved, none have any choice.
The only way to break it is all at once, but this appears to be happening, actually driven by nature, devaluing all money until we start doing the right thing with it, literally giving it away for free in massive quantity to finally get endless incredibly valuable free energy for all in the form of money.
The banks and money issuers could do this tomorrow if they/we wanted to, we already saw the power of it to rescue people as well as the value of money, when truly massive stimulus was issued as money, massive power was put into the hands of people, and we almost got free, oil prices even went negative, showing we really didn't want oil, but the oligarchs didn't like not having control so they convinced us it wasn't really what it seemed, the money was just a temporary loan, from finite pots (Implying energy still limited).
But the truth, that they can't get round, is that energy is becoming for free, courtesy of solar tech bringing it in for free from the sun.
Yes it can be charged for, and we might still pay for it, but the hard fact is, when it charged for, all the charging does, is restrict the flow of it, bacause charging for it is just demanding it doesn't flow, and if it is charged for at profit, then the energy in profit has to come from the planet, because physically it can't come from the sun.
And look, take all the energy of profit, add to the known losses of energy from extraction and refinement, and apply to the thermal mass of the planet, and look, it adds up to the temperature rise.
Try to do that by the theory of greenhouse gases in an adiabatic atmosphere, it's pretty much impossible, no surprise mainstream science can't model it accurately, and has not done so to date.
So to see this, writing like yours, and mine, and Dini, and actually many others in history is needed.
We are getting there, I think :)
