 "The fact is, the wealth held by the 26 richest capitalists in the world is equivalent to the total assets belonging to the worlds poorest 3.8 billion people - nearly half the worlds population. Can this be a coincidence? Surely not.

We should think of it the following way: we usually think of capitalism as something that provides wealth and abundance, but the truth is quite the opposite. Capitalism is a system that functions by producing scarcity."

- Kōhei Saitō
