Why This Matters

Gandhi isn't simply dividing the world into the needy and the greedy—he's suggesting that scarcity itself is manufactured by our appetites, not inherent to nature. The radical part is his claim that enough exists *now*, which means our actual problem isn't production but distribution and desire. When we watch companies design products specifically to become obsolete, or when wealthy nations hoard resources while others lack basics, we're witnessing exactly this gap: the Earth's sufficiency colliding with human wanting. What Gandhi understood is that calling something a "shortage" often masks a choice we've made about who deserves what.
