Money is made in
containers. An ask, an offer, and a box. Meritocracy without a denominator is Privilege.
The problem is we are seduced by numbers. It is easier to manage and reward
things you can count. I came to the UK in 2008 on the Highly Skilled Migrant
Program. Not dissimilar from the points-based system being suggested now. It is
one of my most obvious hypocrisies for someone who believes in the four freedoms
of movement. Without the free flow of Capital, Goods, Services and People, we
live in a system of Global Apartheid. South Africa introduced Homelands and Dompas
(internal passports) using Self-Determination and all the other tricks to
justify the borders we see between nations. Nations put opportunity in boxes. Based
simply on the lottery of birth. Money is made by actually solving problems, or
artificially restricting our ability to solve problems and limiting who gets to
benefit.
