By Not Creating Wealth, We Create Poverty

Perhaps in time we have created a monster in the shape of a group of rich people who create wealth. The size of such a creation is often portrayed as out of proportion to the overall wealth of the world,  through words and numbers alike. And the feeling is that we can do nothing about it. We are small, they are big. They can, we cannot. And sometimes...if the occasion arises, one could argue if you can't beat them join them. Multinationals and other corporate realities, are indeed the owners of most of the financial world globally, many statistics prove this. But what are the factors creating this reality? The answer is surely complex, however, i would like to propose that whilst greed exists, and is perceived as successful, we all have a share in making the gap between poorer and richer wider? In not participating in the creation of wealth, injecting doses of humanity, balance and justice in the process, we participate in letting the world wealth pie: - be smaller than it
