RE: Equality is not good
We must focus on the creation of wealth...? But you brought up Costa Rica. Here you have not material wealth what makes happy people. On the other hand in Germany in spite of financial success many people seem to be very unhappy. I think too much focusing on either equality or creation of wealth goes in the wrong direction.
People are not happy to have wealth or to have equality, but the State can not bring happiness to people. The State must certainly care not even to create wealth, the State must worry about imparting justice and order, and remain the pillars of society.
People on their part, who should lead the market and society in the direction they want, should then worry about looking for what they want most. If they want to seek equality then they can do it. If they want to seek riches, they will also do so.
I don't support the search for equality because I don't think it is convenient, and because I believe that when we focus on sharing existing riches and not producing more, then society stagnates, because it cannot grow in what people are looking for, which causes its collapse.
