📢 Bonus Lesson: Is Ethical Billionaire Wealth Possible?
Today we’re releasing a special bonus lesson in the billionaire - climate series:
Is Ethical Billionaire Wealth Possible? — separating personal virtue from systemic design.
This lesson tackles the question that almost everyone asks at some point in the series:“
But what about the good ones?”
“What about the generous billionaires?”
“Can’t someone be rich and ethical?”
This lesson gives a clear and grounded answer — and it reframes the entire conversation.
🔥 What you’ll learn today
In this lesson, we explore the difference between personal ethics and system requirements.
You’ll learn why billionaire status requires:
- global scale
- very low marginal costs
- labour arbitrage or automation
- externalised environmental costs
- tax-minimising structures
- financial engineering
- favourable political conditions
…and how each requirement functions like a filter, removing ethical pathways and rewarding extractive ones.
The key insight:
A person can be ethical.
A billionaire cannot be created ethically inside the current system.
The system is the issue — not the individual.
We also explore what this means for climate justice, democracy, and the future of wealth.
đź’¬ Your Activity for Today
Question:
Do you think billionaire wealth could ever be ethical — or does the structure of the system make that impossible? Why?
You might reflect on:
- the role of lobbying
- global labour inequality
- environmental costs
- tax rules
- shareholder pressure
- monopolies
- subsidies and public money
- the difference between giving money away and how it was made
Even a short reflection can open up a powerful discussion.
