RE: The Criteria of Wealth [Revised]
"It’s time that we discovered the real criteria for wealth and poverty."
You are right, some people on the world don't have the opportunities like we have but the reason is quickly found. If we look to Africa and the company Nestle who exploits all the people is only possible with the help of a destructive regime or government. The Government is always the root of the evils in the world because a government hasn't the effort to do good things for the people only the free market aka. Capitalism can do this ! This is a simple fact we all have to face! More state means more poverty and war. Less state always means prosperity and wealth for everyone (and the history showed us this like I described it in my post with the German DDR for example).
I hope I helped you with this
I find that is often the case. Governments tend to create inefficiencies in the marketplace, over regulate to the point in creating monopolies rather than foster competition. With the growth of more government comes the growth of wealth depleting taxes, add that to thriving corporate monopolies that only benefit from government regulations we end up with facist symbiotic relationship between the two at the expense of the public. A prime cause of the growing poverty in economic model we have today.
