Share the Pie

Share the Pie
In some cultures redistribution of wealth and resources is part of the economy and of tradition. The potlatch and other ritual and festive means of sharing wealth build collective security and reduce conflict. Sharing good fortune and hardship across the community generates a healthy sense of shared destiny.

Instead of assuming that the pie will grow forever and lead to prosperity for all. If existing levels of inequality between top and bottom persist, the pie will never be big enough to end poverty.
