  1. Who pays for this Global Utopia? It is NEVER addressed by BL. He constantly uses the word rich countries. Are they not the PRODUCTIVE countries. Are they not the most free countries that allow individuals to manufacture and sell and innovate and make a PROFIT? Those are the capitalist countries…and the only reason why they are ‘(evil) rich’ countries… is because people around the world WANT and DEMAND these products. Why don’t ‘poor’ developing countries keep up with ‘rich’ countries…because their GOVERNMENTS are corrupt and don’t want a educated middle class…they could be toppled! The poor countries are poor because of THEIR government not because of the ‘rich’ countries. BL’s great ideas all sound like redistribution of wealth from productive capitalist countries to unproductive dictator countries. BL needs to back up and explain who pays for what and why. It sounds like he is saying the productive people work FREE for the benefit of the other 7.5B until the 7.5B reach their full potential or flourishing potential. A Global Utopia. That’s exactly the same as the UN goal. And why would a dictator want his poor people flourishing….? Are dictators good guys who want the best for his people?
