reading this now
The journey of humanity the origins of wealth and inequality
on how a country prosper is based on education and technology, and if fail to invest in the two, the country will fall behind
also life can be quali and quanti. familiies in quali focus less children so they can channel more resources to that particular child.
May I recommend you guys this thought provoking book?
"humans are naturally nice, and it is the institutions of civilization that have corrupted us"

not yet, I saw and will read after the book you recommended.
It's hard to wrap around my head at this point on humanitarian and what he is saying. I have been reading another book on the good side of capitalism and my personal experience shapes a lot on how I view circumstances.
Will comment when I am done reading.
All the best. May change your perspective on a lot of things after u have done reading em.
it did changed mine

Thanks. I particular also want to look at Universal basic income - such a similar practice to communism doesn't guarantee hard work from people.
Will read first, thanks Uncle Jim
ah, Communism. unfortunately , we Malaysians are not ready yet to talk about it openly.
no worries, let perpetual light shine upon us!
