        People don’t believe that answer because it would be more like “King has 1000, Man has 1, Beggar has 0”

          Well technically no, that would be something between a Laissez Faire Capitalism and a regular Aristocracy.

          A real King in a true Monarchy owns all, his citizens are just living in it, so a king would have 1, a man would have 0, and a beggar would have 0. Kings had the full authority to swap the possessions and statuses of any man and beggar at any time for no reason.
