The human outward invented a concept called profit. What is a profit? A profit is when one makes more money relative to the cost. Therefore the one that profits either charges the customer too much money or he under-pays those that perform the work to produce the product for sale. Those that both under-pay their workers and over-charge their customers make the greatest profit. This is why there are far more poor than rich.

“Let us eagerly await the day when profit is without honour in every country. For are we not all part of one another … and the loss of that understanding the greatest loss of all?”
