Indeed interesting ROM.
However the market economy rules and the alternative seems not to work.
On paper communism seemed the answer but add humans to the system and it too suffered similar ills to the market system.
Greed at the top is common to both systems and I don't know how one can change that.
I enjoy being frugal free from a desire for more stuff and bigger dinners.
But so many humans rank their worth by having more rather than less.
Many select their house, car and clothes to impress others rather than take care of their realistic needs.
Mind you I have lived that way when young but in reflection to recognise such is now an embarrassment.
Nevertheless it may be greed that saved us for the wealthy will see to it that their life style remains even at the expense of the majority of others.
As resources deplete I can not imagine they will suffer.
