I really don't know. And it goes right to the heart of political philosophy:

Since prehistoric times, prosperity is to those groups who come up with the right set of rules and are able to enforce them.

But in recent times, prosperity is to those whose society develops the right mind-set, regardless of the official rules.

Part of that mind-set is protecting those who can't protect themselves, whilst somehow not protecting those who are only playing victim.

I don't know.
