i can sort of agree with you on that part. certainly, if society just consumed and made things that we need, there would be more for everyone, and perhaps a more equitable distribution of resources?
but we were raised in capitalism and shaped to live in it. if we wanted a different way of life, we should address behavior modification. after all, what is freedom? all acts are either rewarded or punished; we have incentives for almost everything that we do, whether we are aware of it or not.
