"Your enemy cannot defeat you unless you become like them", but also one can not fight a war with so many traitors in the media. Look @ Iraq, where "torture" includes mutilation & beheading, or "pointing @ people's privates" (M Python, & the western press) The time to argue is before the conflict. During it, the end is hastened by success. So many theories, but life's not like that.

Usually there are survivors. Things can be tough, especially when some overpaid advisor has lost half wun's assets, & billed them for it, but some companies survive, or we would not eat, dress, or drive; except in ways to which most are unaccustomed.
Like the cliff-cloud, or the weather, it IS. You are probably not going back up that cliff [arrow of time constraint], so look around & wait it out.

Somewhere, in a cave, someone thinks it is working according to plan. Somewhere, closer to home, a cynical power elite is screwing the average mug. It has only been like that for the last million years. It is a pity that the obvious & gross excesses is business & government, & society have not been purged by a world which accepts anything, as long as they get a cut. And the troglodite is no different, to those whom he abuses.
There is no weakness we hate so in another, as that which we recognise in ourselves.
Your hypothetical t/a would have to be exclusively aware, or share. Also innumerable perterbations are introduced by deliberate action, ignorance (ie lack of data) and insanity. And anyone aware of or correctly postulating the actions of said t/a could apply permuted logic to thwart logical outcomes. The spread of assets is a sign of natural entropy. "Power" is applied to elements of the asset set to concentrate them for harvesting.
