Michel Bauwens
Any competition for scarce resources leads to oligarchy. Why? Because it's a it's a game. And every iteration of the game, some is more lucky or more clever than you. So they already have more resources for the second game and then the third game. And so whether it's land or money, you, you see it, you know, that is always this tendency towards oligarchy.
Jarrad Hope
