A property cap would protect the poor

Property ownership is subject to the approval of the community. Limits to the quantity that may be owned by an individual can be derived from the opinion of the population. For example, the Society might be invited to suggest an appropriate upper limit on land ownership, according to value. Or it might be more general: a limit on the natural resources of the planet, be it land or any other.

The poor can be protected from the rest of the population with a property cap applied according to the greater wishes of the population, or the courts.
