their problem is too many people, not enough food, and a religion based on karma..ie if you are poor and sick you deserve it, where as the rich and healthy earned it by being good in their past life.
The also have a culture of screw you and screw thy neighbor as best you can. They view people doing "honest business" as naive or foolish.
No one in humanity, except maybe the quakers have figured out a system where everyone has enough, no one goes without, and no one hordes it all.
