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?

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.
