When "You'll Own Nothing" Stops Being a Warning and Becomes a Blueprint
What if the most powerful people in the world weren't hiding their plans to take everything you own-but broadcasting them openly? In 2016, the World Economic Forum released a now-infamous video predicting life in 2030: "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy." Most dismissed it as dystopian fantasy. But look around. Subscription fees for car features you already paid for. Digital "ownership" that evaporates with a terms-of-service update. Institutional investors outbidding families for starter homes. The signs aren't subtle anymore. This isn't about natural economic evolution-it's a coordinated effort involving global institutions, central banks, and tech giants to fundamentally restructure who controls wealth and property. The question isn't whether this transformation is happening. It's whether you'll recognize it in time to protect what's yours.
