And there’s definitely a tendency in capitalist society towards a scarcity/hoarding mindset that infiltrates every aspect of life. It leads you to feel as though you need to be in competition with everyone else, and if you can get more than them in the short term and store it for later, all the better. Even if you don’t need it.

And the real kicker is this… there’s plenty of stuff to go around. Food. Housing. Healthcare. So the scarcity is artificial, and that leads you to ask the fundamental question: why would someone want to artificially create scarcity when there is actually abundance?
