The Marxist Position on Wealth

There are a number of reasons why every wealthy country has a social safety net. As countries get richer, like Brazil and India and China, they turn their attention to more social welfare. I think one of the things that people realize as societies become richer is that it's better to calculate your wealth on a broader level. It's so nice to be in a city that's thriving and healthy and not crime-ridden and resentful. Those need to be factored into individual wealth.
