Success is not the amount of stuff you have. It's about being content. Capitalist culture is convinced that greed and desire and impatience is good, because it leads to more stuff being created and bought, and from some arbitrary standard, this "economy" is the golden standard of success. And yet suicide rates and loneliness go up in these places, while family values go down. What are you really working so hard for? Poverty is a problem, but most poor places are poor because of corruption. And corruption happens because some people think they need 8 cars or whatever to be content. And the reason they're not content is because they think contentment leads to complacency and poverty.
