11. So what's a basic need?

The definition of basic changes over time.

You want to get a couple economists together to figure out what's fair? Alright, lets get Paul Krugman, someone from the Bush administration, a person from the Chinese government, an Indian working for an American company in India, and a few from the rest of the world, industrial and non-industrial alike, men and women, old and young, right and left, and get them to agree to what a liveable wage would be for the entire globe. Good luck.
