Envy was once considered to be one of the seven deadly sins before it became one of the most admired virtues under its new name, "social justice."

What an awful, awful opinion. Yuck. Why does a child born into a slum somewhere poor deserve a life of hardship and hunger? What an absolutely self-centered, devoid from reality, ego-centric and frankly juvenile opinion to hold.

A very good one, Mentor. As I’ve come to learn, envy is unhappy admiration. When you normalize envy you encourage lethargy and sloth, and breakdown the persons will to work for themselves, and hate those who have done the work, and is now reaping their just rewards.

I'm totally for Capitalism. But it needs to be in a world without the monopoly that the Vatican, Royal family, Rothschild family, Rockefeller family, Washington, Brussels, Israel, etc, and all the banks and governments they control across the world have on currency.

Indeed. Envy and resentment is at the core of all ‘slave moralities’ (which explicitly invert ‘master morality’ c.f. Nietzsche) and this includes leftism, Marxism and communism

I guess that Dr Sowell doesn't understand what social justice is. Doesn't surprise me

A wise man uses envy as motivation to better one's self, not to inflict harm on others. Better persons = better communities.
