How?

By having armies of semi-intelligent armed drones, that will kill the poor if they decide to riot?

By bringing wealth so cheaply that it can be given away.

We already have many things that are given away for free, whereas a 100 years ago they were considered luxury (books, pens, papers, access to knowledge in general, and in Europe - public transport and healthcare, plus to some extent food, heat and electricity).

Would the wealthy and the powerfull be happy for everyone to become wealthy?
Why not?

If you’re a part of a startup ecosystem, you’ve seen how it works first hand - wealthy and successful sharing knowledge with the others.

Then that’s not wealth anymore, because wealth is relative.
