239. It seems to be set up to maintain "control".
That's the only reason I can conceive for such a systematically instable system requiring regular infusions of new capital.

We know that money "trickles up", not down. Therefore, it seems the capital infusions should occur by granting the poorest monetary assistance, rather than the already wealthy. By so doing, the poorest would take their infusion and spend it on needed 'widgets', and it would trickle up through various channels, including the owner who, by selling his widgets, could still make a profit. But by granting the capital assistance to already wealthy entities (corporate welfare), one speeds up the concentration of capital, which leads to exhaustion of capital for the masses.

Thank you for this discussion Hannah Bell.
