I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how the capitalist idea of wealth (as opposed to abundance) is built on the assumption of wealth disparity. Being “wealthy” is having power to avoid unpleasant tasks or responsibilities by delegating them to those who are powerless to avoid the same. Everybody can’t have this kind of “wealth”, or it doesn’t work. The rich are only rich if there are many more poor folks. It makes me increasingly uncomfortable with my own privilege.
