The people who control the banks and currency like world bankers, federal reserve etc are the ones with all the power, and they are corrupt. Good example is how in the bible the money lenders of whom ever it says were in the church and jesus came and saw this and it made him angry and he kicked them out, he knew they are corrupt and selfish. We should stop using money and have every thing socialized or some thing else. capitalism isn't fair or balanced, at least with current humans. Maybe if most of us were loving and just, we could take a risk with capitalism but till then no. Like it or not other people affect your life, humankind should be a whole and make sure every one has decent lives not divided when others suffer it makes your life worse too. thats my opinion.
I think a lot of things come together to create problems. But yes, in its way, money equals power equals money equals status equals power equals money...for some people.
(OK, I'm going to generalize, so please...I DO know there are millions and billions who DO suffer every day.)
Basically, I think some humans' survival instinct, combined with greed, messes things up. In general, humanity has developed technologies and societies that promote a better life than our stone-age ancestors had.
In the western world, most of us don't merely "survive" hand-to-mouth by hunting and gathering. (In less advanced parts of the world, hunger, disease and poverty are still huge issues for many, many people.) Things such as natural resources (and/or access to them, available technologies, politics, culture and belief systems can help or impede humanity.
But humans still have an ancient, stone-age "survival instinct". I think for many people, it's just part of the survival instinct, to want more, bigger and better than others -- as proof that they're good enough for the mating pool. Tragically, when combined with real greed, having more, bigger and better all too often comes at the expense of the survival, well-being, and/or comfort of others who are not as well off.
Not sure I've made sense...Hmmm. Oh, well.

I think pride is basically the root of evil. Countries are invaded so a certain people can have more land and so feel better than other peoples. People are poor because owners want to have ''more'' profit so they can feel better than their peers. Money and want are just tools, pride is the driving force. I dont think its a natural desire or some survival thing either because naturally people would want their social group to existe peacefully and pride and greed are just complete contrasts to peace. (well thats my opinion anyway
