 To deserve to become richer (a.k.a. more powerful) than the bad governments and managers of companies, you need to understand exactly and in detail how they operate, what exactly makes them bad, and what exactly they should do if they wanted to be good. It is not enough to just be good in your heart. You have to have walked through all that ugly experience of living close to those baddies and have understood their ways, and yet remained good in your heart. If you have never had nor understood computers, you are not in the position yet.
