Mr. Corning has identified the symptoms of a problem as the disease. The problem is that the monetary context of economic activity is exploitive by design. This one problem is however never identified as a something to be remedied. So there is the limit of his "the big picture" capabilities.

What is "fair"?

Let's start with no private entity should benefit from the issuance and transfer of monies beyond reasonable service charges. Do that and at least we move away from a Plantation Economy (you and I pay for the priv. of economic activity to the issuer of money in form of taxes and interest) to an egalitarian economic foundation.

Given the lack of this egalitarian economic foundation, any attempts to address the systemic distortions of the current monetary regime is destined to be "unworkable".
