What was perceived as scarcity was illusory as long as there was sharing. and not hoarding. The idea here is not that there is a boundless supply of everything. Such an idea leads to waste and dispensability of everything. But the idea is that there is enough. If scarcity is a myth. then poverty is not necessary. America need not have 37 million Americans living below the poverty line. It is a choice. Hunger is a choice. Exclusion of the stranger. the immigrant. or the darker other is a choice. We can choose generosity. In America today. we spend more on health care than any other industrialized Nation. yet 46 million people have none.
