“Systems are never final, they must always be evolving”
Vineet Raj Kapoor

Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“Wealth inequality must be addressed not by force, but by flow. Forced redistribution, regardless of how well intentioned, is morally wrong. We need an economic system that naturally facilitates the equitable flow of capital such that capital is more widely distributed on a perpetual basis.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
