Personally, I like the self-actualization idea.

in the Ferrari Luce debacle, who will be self-actualizing?

Is it the suited New Yorker in the photo?

How about (Our Little) Jony (Ive), Enzo, "Chicago" Leo, Hyundai's owners, or Chinese buyers

It seems that to answer that, the "intended" versus actual flow of money or status might help us turn this into a science. Because it frames a connection between inferences about intentions and predictions about flow.

If we bring in the topic of users and citizens, I feel that the polar opposite to "self-actualization" is "collective punishment".

But, I don't dare to discuss that yet (see sibling comments to yours below)
