I try to give solutions with some of my posts to stop some of. the many mechanisms for the continuous upward transfer of wealth. But they are the kind that will only be possible with the next crisis.

Here are some examples.

Stop executives from being able to cause their corporations to buy back their shares at jacked up prices. https://medium.com/@janweirlaw/corporate-personhood-and-citizens-united-e611d1cabbc5

Stop private equity, from under funding pensions, then putting the corporations through bankruptcy, forcing the workers to make a claim on the government pension plan, https://medium.com/@janweirlaw/looting-worker-pensions-e0dbec05bd75

Stop commercial banks from using deposit money to speculate in the derivative market which caused the 2008 crisis and was not prevented by Dodd Frank, https://medium.com/@janweirlaw/the-continuing-financial-weapons-of-mass-destruction-ceac87e44826

Stop corporations shifting profit to tax havens by making them reveal the country to which the product was delivered, letting that country tax the corporations. https://medium.com/@janweirlaw/tax-avoidance-starbucks-brewed-a-tax-storm-b775682992b5

I plan to write a book consolidating all of these articles, but they don’t have the attraction of the political horse race. I have to build up a following on the Internet on my medium.com site to prove to a literary agent that there is a market for this book, so if there’s anything you can do to help, I would appreciate it.
