    Can we as a society organize and innovate without billionaires? Even China changed their economy to make them possible.

    Right now, writers are on strike. Hollywood workers could invest their time, make movies, and get paid afterwards. But instead, it takes people with money to do the funding.

    How should big sums of money be managed? Bureaucrats work to a certain extend but hardly innovate. Which structure could ask a million people to invest a thousand dollars each and offer ethical profits?

    Although it had some kinks to roll out, some planned socialist economy can easily fix two of these problems, while just allocating requested resources to the writers union to fund their works fixes the other. The soviet film industry has produced many beautiful films, so it can work well.
