One theory that I’ve seen, I thought was kind of crazy, but as I’ve seen, what was crazy 5 years ago can be “normal” today:
There are people/politicians that don’t mind blowing up (or at least seriously damaging/“revolutionizing”/“reforming”) our current monetary system. Thus, printing and “air dropping” 6 trillion, 10 trillion or 50 trillion is ok.
That destroys the value of current dollars held by “the rich.”
It also forces “the rich” out of dollars and into assets.
Assets = “inequality.”
To fix the “inequality” it’s a simple step to seize assets. Directly, through things like wealth taxes (already being floated in the “progressive” states and highly likely IMO to start happening, “because inequality”), and indirectly by ways of highly restrictive property laws. Like already happening in places like Seattle, where a landlord can’t decide who to rent their apartment to, how much to charge, and who to evict.
