I’ve made an argument previously that the real estate market needs to be tanked, with no corporate ownership and a limit of 1 property per person and essentially an abolition of rent through a forced auction pool and no deposit finance. But that is not the point…
A big part of my argument is that we need to move investment from “asset” ownership to corporate ownership - ie make the only viable investments in business and startups, thereby providing jobs and forcing risk on to the wealthy. This gets money moving and pushes up productivity, advancing the human race
Its not hoarded wealth, its spent on things that make them more money. More “ownership” of others work.
There’s actually a stunning amount of simple hoarding of cash. It’s a major contributor to economic stagnation:

It’s money management. Some percentage of wealth in different risk/growth classes and some kept liquid to profit on
