In the world we live in, people only invest in themselves and society may or may not benefit as a consequence. This type of selflessness is rare and unsustainable.
- adventured 11y agoOh really, people only invest into themselves? In the case of the US, Americans pay $6.1 trillion annually in taxes between local + state + federal. Equal to one third of GDP. Those same Americans give vast sums to charity, with the US having practically invented modern philanthropy. Your premise doesn't hold up under any scrutiny.
