making the rich billion people poor

If one looks into the future, and thinks about the options to avoid ecological collapse, then there is one quite ugly way of doing it. The way is not to make nine billion additional people rich, but essentially make the rich billion poor. Because if the rich billion become so poor that it does not consume meet and doesn’t drive cars, then that solves most of the environmental problems. And if the rich get poor, the poor need not get rich. Because the poor will not probably get richer than the rich will then be. There is maybe 2% of people who organize that. This is then the neofeudal global elite. And some of them would like that. It's not that Brazilianization is something that all elites are against. But it’s disaster for the normal people and it takes away the potential for a good world for 10 billion people.
