ACCORDING to Mahatma Ghandi, “there is always enough for everybody’s needs but never enough for everybody’s greed.” It therefore means collective ownership and equitable distribution of resources are the commonsense and liberation for all human beings. Availability of fuel, food, education housing, transportation, communication, shelter should be in the realm of sunshine and air. No wonder the world is grappling with intractable problems such as wars, hunger, poverty, deprivation, lack, backwardness and underdevelopment. Highly evolved cultures understand all this deeply and they do not charge exorbitant prices on goods and services. Market forces in capitalism claim that when more people chase fewer goods, prices skyrocket but spiritually, because all beings are one inseparable entity, more people do not even have to chase fewer goods because in whatever situation or whatever is available, they share equally.
