To design a successful human society you need to know what kind of animal we are. Are we a cooperative animal or a competitive animal?"

The answer is YES. We all thrive on the prize of the competition and we all share bread with a stranger in varying degrees. Our cooperation builds personal bonds and community solidarity in shared goals.  Competition for the Prize and exceptional Reward for exceptional Performance leads to increased effort and to the drive to find a better way of doing things.  Often it also leads to Poverty & Excess.  

If we can find a stable environment between the Poorest and Richest within the drive to attain the most or all of everything, we can build a safe foundation to build Freedom from Want and establish a stronger Democracy.  If Poverty dominates our Economic System we will suffocate Democracy & Freedom in favor of rule by the Oligarch of 1%ers.
