Pursuit of affluence

  • Pursuit of affluent living standards
  • Belief that wealth eliminates all problems

Claim

The few who live in the overdeveloped countries can only go on enjoying their present resource use if they continue to seek more than their fair share. The goal of development cannot be to rise to the living standards and industrial-consumer economies which the rich countries now have.
