How to do #1 without the same conditions happening again sooner or latter?
Also, this would entail force, I suspect. Not good either for the long
term.
Instead of wealth redistribution a common value standard for money needs
to be found. Gold was in the past but is there a better one? Is there
another tangible? Would just a fixed figure work? Could a unit of human
labor be used? Or, since 'bread' is a historic human universal, can an
absolute value be taken from the difference between free grains of wheat,
or rice for that matter, and a grown bushel?
