Greed Leads To Need
Interesting article, though the "alarmist" propensity of the Daily Mail has been noted. The caption under one of the photos says
quote:
In one scenario, a famine among 'Commoners' eventually causes the collapse of society, due to a loss of workers..
The study, led by mathematician Safa Motesharrei, goes on to say the the rich, or 'Elites,' may be responsible for both problems, the Guardian notes.
'...accumulated surplus is not evenly distributed throughout society, but rather has been controlled by an elite,' it says. 'The mass of the population, while producing the wealth, is only allocated a small portion of it by elites, usually at or just above subsistence levels.'
Just another observation that greed is unhealthy...the evil 2% and the poor impoverished masses.....
Milton Friedman always argued that greed is good, however.
