Are there examples in history of the peacable transfer of significant wealth from the rich to the lower classes?
Are there any examples in history of the willing and/or peacable transfer of significant wealth from the rich to the lower classes?
Note I say willing and/or peacable, so this precludes violent revolution. The only case I am aware of is the UK from 1945-1955 when 10% of national wealth was transferred from the upper classes to the working classes. I assume there are others.
