My list of things that poverty cannot buy includes the things that money cannot buy. I know some people choose a life of poverty, but it seems to me to be pointless.<br /><br />crapnocrap: As I wrote above, I find it odd to ask whether it is more important to provide people with money than autonomy. Who is confronted with that choice? <br /><br />The leaders of China don't have to choose whether to give people money or autonomy. Greater freedom is not in conflict with wealth creation.<br /><br />The governements of western countries aren't confronted with a choice between giving people money or autonomy when they consider banning things that they consider harmful to health. They don't contemplate giving drug users monetary compensation for their loss of autonomy. When they consider restricting working hours they don't contemplate offering monetary compensation to the workoholics.Winton Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383561940886657594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089082204850170942.post-56046712698652144212011-07-02T05:31:28.703+10:002011-07-02T05:31:28.703+10:00Give autonomy.
