Not at the top of the heap

An ordinary life can be desirable. The perfect world does not have to be an over-abundance of the fine things in life or having a helicopter or a Lear Jet. In my mind, the ideal world would be one where rights as a human being are held sacred; where a man cannot be forced to give up his dignity in order to survive; where his voice can be heard even if it is just one small voice; where a poor man can have the chance to make a living without sacrificing his freedom.

The study of Economics tells us that resources are scarce and there is a limit to wealth. However limited wealth may be, and how scarce resources are, one's mind is boundless, his imagination limited only by what one can visualize. He will surely be able to raise himself by his bootstraps if wealth were not so inequitably distributed. If his dreams are not held back by the principles of Economics as practiced by modern-day corporations and governments, he would be able to raise his knowledge and expertise in many fields not excluding science and technology.
