Not every reader or commentator endorses the philosophical and economical view of the great Von Mises. 'Politics of envy' is actually a double-edged sword. Its corollary should be the sum of increasing welfare programs on behalf of a supposed equality, which is impossible to attain in social practice. If social envy is seen, as it often occurs, as a result of exploitation, the natural policy to be suggested should be, of course, redistribution of income - i.e. Governmental confiscation of "unjustly acquired" income by the filthily rich and its subsequent "recovery" by the petty and the slippery, its 'rightful' owners. A correct identification of the causes for poverty is very much critical, and there's the rub problem. The crux is farther up, though.
