1-3 Imperial Greed and the Monopoly of All-Under-Heaven: Wealth, Resources, Privilege, and the Dynastic “Family-Owns-the-Realm” Succession

SECTION FOCUS
This section examines how human greed compounds with the possessive impulse of imperial power — the notion that “all-under-heaven is nothing but the king’s land.” Those who hold power pursue not only personal wealth but total control over land, enterprises, resources, opportunities, honors, and the prospects of their descendants; privilege expands from office into rank and extends from one generation into the family and its “red bloodline.” 1-3-1
