Solution for a better world

How much money does one person need to live comfortably? Let's assume it's $10m.
Once a person's assets has reached that amount it should be capped.
Any additional income should be given to the company's shareholders or kept as its reserves.
The income to the person should be given just enough to maintain his net worth at the capped value.
By limiting eveybody's assets to $10m, wealth can be distributed more equally to society, thus benefiting everyone.
No one gets to hoard massive amounts of wealth. Improvement in productivity should benefit the whole society not just to make a few filthy rich.

A manifesto against all forms of war

War where lives are lost by physical aggression and armed conflict is denounced these days, so the world has generally been peaceful this century, except for acts of terrorism.
But doesn't everyone realize that there are other forms of war- trade war, currency war, cyber war. Even competition can be seen as a form of war. The casualties suffer from a loss of quality in life (e.g. end up poorer), and it is not undamaging either to the winners. When competition is stiff, what does it take to become the winner? Blood, sweat and tears. More time spent at work instead of with one's family. How can work life balance be achieved then?
Why don't more people denounce all these forms of war instead of just the physical kind?
