You wake up, have breakfast, get washed and dressed, sacrifice a goat etc. You're about to leave for work/school/college/satanic cult meeting etc., so you check you've got your keys, wallet/purse, phone, bloodied goat horn etc. As your hand goes over your wallet/purse, you notice it feels different. You open it up, and find it's the contents that's changed. Over the course of the night, all the money in the world has been abducted and distributed equally amongst the global population. Big businesses across the world are collapsing and scientific research has ground to a halt, but Third World Debt is reduced considerably and starving people across the world can buy something to eat.

Ignore the practical application of such a feat, just assume that funds that exist only in computers have been converted into their material equivalent, and the currency of the funds is appropriate for the country of the reciever, but all wealth in the form of goods remains in the same ownership.

So in the immediate, no doubt chaotic aftermath, it'll be a hideous sight, but in the long term, is this world a better or worse one than the one we live in today? In a few years, will the balance tip itself back to its old position again or will we get enduring change? Is this occurance a victory for equality or does it favour the poor?
