Only way to stop hoarding is abundance.

We live in an age of incredible abundance. Yet hoarding continues, does it not?

It's superficial abundance. The Walmart is full, but your pockets are not.

Aside: I wonder what effect increased lifespans will have on hoarding. We know the old horde, will they horde even more?
