I agree that your phrasing of the second touchstone is an improvement. As for tying this to a future hypothetical, I don't think we have to do that: you can see plenty of things China and other AES states are currently doing that benefit the people at the expense of capital. I think you can call it a DOTP as long as you have a government that keeps doing that -- keeps moving in the right direction -- and that is not simply doing minor liberal improvements while largely operating at the behest of capital.
