Our government breaks it down into three categories, the upper class, the middle class, and the poor. So as the self strives to obtain more and more, the more the self feels it needs. In this, capitalism becomes greed and greed becomes lust. So that when lust has become wealthy, lust desires power. Power without God becomes a lust within itself.
Power is the influence to control.
Lust is the longing for possessions or enjoyment. Combined, lust for power absolutely corrupts. I make no claim that socialism or communism would be a better economic system. Any system applied without God is destined to fail. Without God, an economic order whether past, present or future, can not solve the problems of this world.
