The rich French people of the past came to own everything and then exploited the poor, resulting in the French Revolution.
Britain, conversely, had reforms instead. They banned the slave trade, broke up big estates and fought a brief civil war to keep the reformed king within his constitutional role.
They had their reforming Magna Carta to guarantee due process and eventually introduced reforms called emancipation, which means personal freedom.
New Zealand is at a point where it needs reform.
Most of the houses and land are owned by a single class of person. This class, in my opinion, doesn't accept that it has any responsibility to the other classes.
