Hi SM

I can see where you might draw your conclusions about ALL economies.

It is accurate for a Centralized and planned Economy like the former Soviet Union. In that case, you had 250,000 communists controlling the lives and wealth of 250million soviet citizens.

Pyramids themeselves are not the evil. It is the ignorance of the people participating.

You might find "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smithvery interesting.

I'm sure Bowser and Publius will give alternative titles.
