The definition of greed is not, wanting things. It is what you do about it. Not sharing the wealth with developing countries means developed nations have only poor people to sell to. It is not even in their interest to keep it to themselves. But they do, and that is greed. They do irrational and illogical things, because of their desire for things, things that even stop them getting more. They literally cannot stand to give anything away. | The definition of greed is not, wanting things. It is what you do about it.

The average world income is, in one sense,
Gross domestic product (WP) (PPP): US$74.00 trillion, 2010 estimate [1]
Divided by:
World Population 6,889,167,846 (December 21, 2010)([1])
= $10,741.50
Which is under the 'poverty line' in the USA. The average US income is
$14.660 trillion (2010)[2]
Divided by:
308,745,538[3]
= $47,482.46
Wonder why there are no references for this information? It isn't because I didn't look. It is empirically proven in any case, by mathematics, but this disparity is the one thing world economists don't even want to think about for very long, let alone want everyone else looking at. Try a search for 'average world income' anywhere, on any search engine.
It's really quite simple. Everyone knows what 'fairness' means. Everyone significantly over the line, per person in their income dependency group, are part of a problem. Everyone near or below the line may be interested in the solution. The rest is just talk.
And of course, the world economy is not a zero sum (WP) game, either. Giving more money to developing countries enables them to create industries that will increase the world's total GDP.
The definition of greed is not, wanting things. It is what you do about it. Not sharing the wealth with developing countries means developed nations have only poor people to sell to. It is not even in their interest to keep it to themselves. But they do, and that is greed. They do irrational and illogical things, because of their desire for things, things that even stop them getting more. They literally cannot stand to give anything away.- ↑ [2]
