Trying to get rich is the selfish version of “every man for himself”, building a more equal society is the empathetic one: in a fair society there are no threats to seek your own life.

The problem is that a fair society is not a stable equilibrium. Selfish people profit in a fair society at the cost of others.

We intend to change the social contract.

To each for his ability; from each as much as we can take
