Ok, sorry to have\u00a0overwhelmed\u00a0you. It appears that my December post titled, “Is there a just way to make US$1 million,” having asked for comments, has received the least number of comments of any post on the site. I don\u2019t want to scare you away. There are no wrong ideas or answers here. Since in Vietnam and Lao we continue to see major income gaps between rich and poor (brand new gold-tan Toyota Hilux 4-door pick up trucks for the have’s VS.\u00a0dump trucks\u00a0used as buses\u00a0to move The People around), please allow me to revive the discussion:<\/p>\n
From my original 3 questions, I want to focus only on #2:<\/p>\n
Is there a just way to make US$1 million?<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the ideas that came up in the discussion we here at Fueled By Rice had was authors. If one writes a highly successful book and makes US$1 million, that would probably be a just way to make that much money. Perhaps a central idea here is that as long as the money one earns all comes directly from the fruit of their own labor, it is just\u2026assuming fair prices. I’m sure there are other possibilities and even arguments against this.<\/p>\n This raises questions about the justness of investments, banks, and the stock markets where one makes money from money by simply putting it in the right place at the right time. I\u2019d be thrilled if someone could argue for the justice in earning money from stock markets and banking.\u00a0 I myself am earning interest on a savings account for doing nothing but having put the money in the account.\u00a0<\/p>\n Any thoughts would be great.<\/p>\n Thanks, Ok, sorry to have\u00a0overwhelmed\u00a0you.
