Between your #52 (behavioral economics, facts and evidence) and my #54 (slavish devotion to Old Testament law), we pretty much ended up about at the same place. Heh. I find that gratifying.

If we take old testament law further we would have to make other adjustments to make a fair comparison. First, only 1 out of 12 tribes (about 8% not productive) were the priestly class and this class was forbidden to own property. Contrast that with about 15% public sector jobs and governments holding vast amounts of land, real estate, pensions and other property.
