I don't know and surely don't know a lot about economics, but I do know so far unbridled capitalism is unsustainable. I'm not sure if redistribution of wealth would sweep in all at once on a massive scale. I'm thinking, if we do go that way, it will be in phases, a transition. And it's the formulation of new future policies that we'll have to be ever aware of. Maybe others more knowledgeable on economics can weigh in.
