Freedom of movement is the
way to dismantle privilege. Privilege is inherited barriers to entry. Bring
down the walls. As a South African, I have always felt I will know Apartheid is
truly over when the electric fences and burglar bars come down. Rich countries have
the same issue, they just place the fences on the borders. GMB Fitness talks
about the foundations for physical autonomy – strength, flexibility, and
control. These are the keys to moving with ease. Financial autonomy is all
about being able to move easily. That is why I believe so wholeheartedly in the
Four Freedoms (Capital, Goods, Services, and Labour). To understand privilege,
understand borders. Understand the monopoly of control in bubbles. If you want
to dismantle privilege, start by letting people live where they want, work
where they want, work for who they want to, and buy what they want to. Start by
trusting people to make their own decisions. Empower the word yes. Empower the
word no. Reduce the barriers to entry and let creative destruction do the rest.
Trust people. From the bottom up.
