Without wanting to sound contrarian, the mere fact that individuals have been able to amass hundreds of billions of dollars seems to indicate that as a tool of exchange, money has failed.
These hundreds of billions aren’t helping anyone on the planet find shelter, food, or improve anyone’s quality of life. It’s being used to further the wealth of the already incredibly wealthy. Not to mention, the fact that the CEOs of these companies have hundreds of billions when their employees may only be earning thousands suggests that they are contributing hundreds of thousands of times the effort or value, which can simply not be the case.
In any case, the current system has served me well as i possess knowledge that is deemed valuable at present, but i personally know dozens of people who through a variety of causes haven’t been able to extract the same, and who would benefit from a complete rethinking of the system. This again suggests that for the maximum benefit to the most people, something needs to change.
