Eliminating world poverty: making governance work for the poor (33)
------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not agree with the logic of Craig. We see so many problems of the world, thanks to its materialism, which he is advocating. I am not against enjoying the benefits of hard labour. But not just schemy money making!! I am sure you understand, as money multiplies money and poverty multiplies poverty. The rich have time and again proved, how they can extract wealth from the poor. No wonder you see a poverty Africa!!! The leaders are made corrupt, because of the illegal foreign bank accounts they can maintain around the globe.

Make all transactions transparent and let us see whether the gap widens or narrows. Stop giving aid to Africa and let it come to terms with itself. Let them eradicate malaria in their own way. I think, we have fooled the world enough with our arguments of false rights!! In your example, the physicist has to die of hunger, if the truck driver does not reach the physicist with his food items. Thus both are serving society equally, with relative difference. So no one in society is less important. Except that you do not equate a knowledge worker with a physical worker. Over the generations we have created a divide and taken pride in it. May be my logic is skewed for many. But I see lot of value, to eliminate terrorism, corruption, poverty, etc.
