Governments and their overwhelming need for control is a contributing factor to the huge lack of equality in the world. Property rights is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to government control. We live in a world where more people live as have nots than those that have. The saddest part of this crisis is that the governments in many of these cases have the ability to make things better but rather choose to oppress their people further. How can some of these governments make the shift to providing equal and fair property rights when they are yet willing to do what it takes to ensure their people have clean and safe drinking water and enough food to effectively nourish themselves. Change is needed but will be long from coming when the few have so much power over the many.
