I've seen a few usernames lately that reference #agorism, so I looked it up and find it interesting.. I'm curious how #agorists feel about wealth concentration and the power imbalance that creates. How do they deal with that? Do they believe in doing anything that would curtail their power? The wealthy clearly aren't going to voluntarily agree to limit their ability to become even more wealthy, and history has shown that the extremely wealthy will almost certainly disregard human life and consent in pursuit of more wealth. How does #agorist #philosophy guarantee things remain fully consensual despite the imbalanced power dynamic? Do they still see it as fully consensual when that power dynamic coerces the poorer individual into agreeing to something they wouldn't otherwise agree to?
