Re:

    "The richest 2% of adults in the world own more than half of global 
household wealth" **

How, and where, can we engage (each one of them, individually? Are they 
known names/families/which-ever?) in a discussion concerning how to 
replace this planet-trashing, catastrophic 'economics'?

After, all, those who have (or imagine they have) the most to lose must 
be as stressed-out as (the rest of?) us and, as such, changing this 
meta-stable nonsense is in *every-body's* interest.  N'est ce pas?

A serious request.

Best to all - in love, for love
