This condition will persist along with the ever-accelerating shift to productive capital––which reflects tectonic shifts in the technologies of production. Since the Industrial Revolution subsequent technological advance amplified the productive power of non-human capital. The system of plutocratic finance channels its ownership into fewer and fewer hands, as we continue to witness today with government by the wealthy evidenced at all levels. We need leadership to rechart the economic system to empower capitalless citizens to acquire private, individual ownership in productive capital (machines, superautomation, automated factories, and computerized operations) and pay for their acquisition out of the future earnings of their capital investments. This will create a path to prosperity, opportunity, and economic justice, and reduce growing dependence on redistribution programs embodied in make-work, boondoggle military/industrial contracts, and welfare, and better the livelihood conditions of the citizens along with the revitalized growth of the American economy.
