(This applies to individuals and to Nations, except that individuals don't take into account inflation, while Nations have to take it into account.) The preference hierarchies of superbillionaires difer then from that of other individuals in that it includes "goods" which normally are not goods at all, namely, people. From an axiological point of view the hierarchy of values of superbillionaires is also different from that of individuals, as even consequences can be considered as good to be bought, or actually, as goods already bought. The question then is at what point a fortune turns into the equivalent of ano budgetary restriction... Fabrizio J Bonsignore, now Danilo J Bonsignore Fabrizio J Bonsignore, now Danilo J Bonsignore
