The distribution of wealth

What is to be done with poverty and exploitation? These are fundamental obstacles in the path toward happiness.

The eradication of poverty is a top priority. Misery in a world of riches is unacceptable. Living a simple life must be simple, even for the most disadvantaged.

The gap between the wealthiest and the poorest must be bridged. This separation indicates the capacity for autonomy, cooperation and decentralization of human groups.

The first step is to be aware of the problems and the people trying to solve them. Who is struggling among your circles, your communities and your sources? Are you part of the problem? How can you help personally in solving it?

The distribution of wealth must be based in the direct provision of goods and services. The circulation of money in cash or credit attracts corruption and reinforces submission. The hungry require food, the homeless require shelter, the diseased require attention, and the insolvent require forgiveness. Every action must be driven by the participation and education of the own beneficiaries.

The attention to the excluded must be handled with existing infrastructures. People of different social condition can work together and obtain better results when they mix. Creating services only for the poor perpetuates the social divide.

In order to solve the deficiencies we must start looking where excess occurs: The strength of these actions must correspond to the desperation of its beneficiaries and the sustainability of the sources of excess. It doesn't need to compromise the sustainability of the creditors and providers. There is a way.
 * Excessive production, generating unused goods that end up as waste.
 * Excessive accumulation, fruit of selfishness, generating useless luxury.
 * Excessive debt, keeping debtors in a vicious circle of submission.

Long-lasting solutions must address the root causes of poverty. Labor exploitation and political control are always the main suspects. Women, children and the elder are more exposed, as a consequence of patriarchal and capitalist discrimination. Racism and xenophobia also play an important role.
