Today we’re starting a brand-new series — one lesson per day — unpacking the mechanisms behind billionaire wealth and what it means for climate, society, and the future.
Most of us are told a simple story:
“Billionaires exist because they were brilliant, worked hard, and disrupted the world.”
But the data tells a very different story.
Behind the scenes is a repeatable, systematic model — one that shifts costs onto society, extracts value, suppresses competition, and uses public money to grow private fortunes.
🔥 What’s inside today’s lesson
You’ll get a clear overview of the 9 mechanisms we’ll break down in detail over the coming days:
- How costs are pushed onto society
- How monopolies are built
- How shareholder pressure drives climate damage
- How CEOs use equity to multiply wealth
- How tax avoidance systems work
- How lobbying rewrites the rules
- How debt fuels expansion
- How public money feeds private empires
- And how all of these form a single, self-reinforcing loop
This is the frame that makes the whole series click.
