Well.... this is nothing NEW... the obfuscation ( or worse ) of talking about/ revealing/describing what would TRULY end poverty. But i honestly think you may be giving more credit to some of these "best seller " authors for their knowing anything more.. Why do i think this?... Well.. when I suggest to people i meet, all kinds.... a society based NOT ON MONEY..... I almost always get a look of instant and complete perplexity. (I do not get this reaction when i suggest not having rich or poor.. this gets a smile )... But when i suggest a SOCIETY NOT BASED ON MONEY.. this usually gets a response of "what?".... ie. I think the idea of this, is just without any point of reference in most people's ( even educated best seller authors') minds. It just doesn't exist. And that's why books upon books talking about ending poverty ... never... ever... discuss replacing it with a no money system. It's not in anyone's BANDWIDTH........is my point. ( again: NOT the same as saying, "let's remove rich and poor".. ).
