Advantage 73 – No crime because of poverty

Excerpt from the book »Gradido – Natural Economy of Life«

»It is much easier for the rich to do good
than for the poor to refrain from doing evil.«
– Jean Antoine Petit-Senn
French poet

Why is it especially dangerous in cities of poor countries? In the slums there are organised gangs who earn their living by robbing other people. Even small children are trained and used as pickpockets or their accomplices. This is one of the few sources of income these people have, so we can hardly blame them.

As there will no longer be any poverty in the Natural Economy of Life, crime caused by poverty will also decline. There are far more agreeable possibilities of earning one’s living and developing one’s full potential.

What may possibly remain is pathological crime, for example the kleptomaniac who shoplifts in a department store. Perhaps this pathological crime will decrease as well, for the gradido system has an extremely positive impact on physical and mental health.
