Hi everyone,
After ten days of lessons — and a bonus lesson to tie it all together — the entire Billionaire Mechanisms course is now complete and ready for you to explore at your own pace.
This series looks beyond headlines and personality stories and focuses instead on the systemic mechanisms that create extreme wealth — and how those same mechanisms shape our politics, our economy, and our climate future.
To make it easy to review everything in one place, I’ve created a single-page visual summary of all 10 core lessons + the bonus lesson. It’s included below.
This sheet gives you a quick snapshot of:
- how companies externalise costs
- how monopolies emerge
- why shareholder pressure matters so much
- how CEO wealth is amplified
- how tax avoidance is structured
- how lobbying shapes the rules
- why debt and leverage accelerate growth
- how public money fuels private gain
- how all these mechanisms reinforce each other
- what this means for the climate
- and whether ethical billionaire wealth is possible
It’s a map you can refer back to anytime.
💬 I’d love to hear from you
As you revisit the lessons, I’d be interested to know:
Which mechanism surprised you the most — and which one feels most connected to the climate crisis?
Your reflections help others see the system more clearly, and they shape what we build next inside Has2BGreen.
