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.

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 smile.gif

Also read know your place yesterday. About a poor Pakistani politician in the UK...

And how rich are bad people.. I'm a bit fedup with this idea.. If system is rotten, don't blame the rich. And the poor need to take some accountability as well, especially the parents and their ancestors in how their manage their lives and money.
