    Jul 30 2012: In my view, concept of individual saving or retaining whether its property or knowledge is the root cause of greed and classification of haves and have nots. Along with this, concept of central authority also seems some what problematic even the authority should be shared and participatory. I think there can be more but I would love a simplistic approach to this question.
