A few things in the last century have tipped the scales in favour of an accelerated #plutocracy.
1913-29: The formation of #centralBanking and the switch towards cultivating a #consumeristSelf over an active #citizenry,
1960-70s break from gold that coincidences with onset of "#neoliberalism" and interestingly, a #TransparencyMovement, opening votes of #policymakers up to the public, but ultimately a primary tool exploited mostly by #lobbyists.
Abuse of tech ensues.
