Why the World Is Breaking, and What Comes Next

The case for a new system — not a new ruler.

In a world of unimaginable abundance, billions still struggle to survive. A handful of billionaires control more wealth than half the global population combined.

Those who already own assets accumulate more wealth simply by existing in the right position. Meanwhile, workers are paid just enough to survive, never to thrive.
