Did you forget the Communist vs Capitalism debate on the past season? Basically he is concerned about several adventurers in Akiba that live in total poverty and do almost nothing all day as they are depressed by the situation and don't see any way to get a comfortable life in the
DATABASE in that world.
Meanwhile the merchant guilds through the monopoly of various secret recipes to create stuff make a ton of money (this is something that Shiroe started, after all, by making food before anyone else figured out how).
So Eins kept proposing various policies to change the situation, he proposed taxes, he proposed to force the guilds to share some of their recipes. But most of the members of the council are people that made it big by working hard and some of them are leaders of merchant guilds and they flatly said: "hell no".
Even in this latest episode you've seen Eins arguing against the leader of the major merchant guild as he's the one that has the most to lose if Eins' proposal were to pass.
