Part 2: The Fund as Institution

Part 2: The Fund as Institution

The most beautiful idea in the world doesn’t change anything until someone builds the machinery to run it.

Part 1 made the case for why this should exist. Part 2 answers the harder question: can it actually be built, governed, defended against corruption, and operated at the scale of eight billion people? Eight articles, each taking on one question a thoughtful skeptic asks after finishing Part 1 — with the honest caveats, the real trade-offs, and the failure modes named plainly.
