How do you fight it? By creating a democracy. but a true one not one of our shitty Western false democracies! One using the blockchain to make people vote for every law and every constitution modification! That's what should be done! Then you would see that we have far enough money, we're just letting private investors keeping it.
This is what i've been saying for a couple years now. If you have a public sector to be proud of and one that is corruption free then society will engage in a more meaningful way. Lets keep the private business out of public affairs.
The main problem is that governments are giving out to private sectors everything that is profitable! They keep only the expenses in public sector! THE OF COURSE IT COSTS MONEY!! ><
