Billionaires under the guillotine
Sjors Roeters once thought that capitalism would save the world. From the age of eleven, he traded frantically on the stock market and he fervently believed in the superiority of the system. Now he sees that the structures and incentives of capitalism lead to inequality and destruction. While the Earth is on fire, the rich are getting richer. History shows that extreme inequality ultimately almost always leads to violence. But billionaires are not under the guillotine yet. Because there are alternatives to capitalism. Roeters is looking. Can the tide still be turned?
