Would one way to redistribute wealth to ensure that everybody partakes in the wealth that is created? So you're always earning a stake in what you're doing.
In practice this would mean that all jobs would pay RSUs of some kind. If you rent then you are getting some of the equity of the house as well, so that when it is sold you benefit and not just the landlord.
The idea is basically that everyone should benefit from capitalism, not the just the lucky few with all the capital.
- njepa 7y agoIt isn't an uncommon thought. Unfortunately this isn't very popular, partly because it is actual socialism (which is even less popular than social systems). In general I think it is also too late to introduce such a system. You have to get ahead of the curve before people realize what they have got, sort of like in Norway with the oil fund.

- philbarr 7y agoSocialism is redistribution of wealth by the state. This is redistribution of wealth by capitalism?
