Is there an evolution towards an more egalitarian commonwealth?

In 1991, a researcher on communal economics, Allen Butcher, predicted a deep trend towards a more egalitarian commonwealth, and he produced three different graphics.

1. The Economic Evolution towards a more egalitarian commonwealth:

The “Ownership/Control Matrix charts the evolution towards more participatory governance and property systems:

“Ownership/Control Matrix—a two-dimensional model of political-economic structures, with common to private ownership on the horizontal axis and participatory to authoritarian political structures on the vertical axis, and a mid-range for each, resulting in nine different political/economic systems; also called “Intentional Community Matrix,” “Communitarian Matrix,” “Political/Economic Matrix” (1991)”

2. The Political Spiritual Matrix:

“The Political Spiritual Matrix — a two-dimensional model combining forms of spiritual beliefs (see the spiritual/economic matrix) on the horizontal axes with forms of governance from participatory to authoritarian on the vertical axis; one of three matrices in the communitarian relationships model (1991).”

3. The Spiritual Economic Matrix:

“A two-dimensional model combining forms of spirituality with forms of the ownership of wealth; common to private ownership on the horizontal axis and belief structures from “minimal spiritual emphasis and no spiritual leader, secular community” to “strong spiritual emphasis, spiritual leaders and spiritual uniformity” on the vertical axis, and a mid-range for each, resulting in nine different spiritual/economic systems.”
