Thank you. This nails it. All humans have potential, and it should be our Right to explore these potentials to their fullest. All humans deserve full protection from entropy, as best society can fulfill that protection.Income inequality restricts market opportunity. Extreme inequality — characterized by rampant poverty — chains our inclined labor. Economist Amartya Sen describes the persistence of poverty as the robbing of human potential, stating “poverty is not just a lack of money. It is not having the capability to realize one’s full potential as a human being.” Poverty, then, is the reduction of human contributions to the market, to the commons and, ultimately, to the human condition.
