Artificial material scarcity - colloquially spoken as Artificial Scarcity in the [[GVCS TED Talk]] - is a condition where in the absolute abundance of material resources - namely: rocks, plants, water, sunlight, air - from which all wealth is created - their distribution is poor - causing poverty, hunger, resource conflicts, corruption, social ills, psychological disintegration, loss of meaning, etc.
[[Artificial Scarcity]] related to materials and energy resources.
 
Artificial scarcity involves high efficiency of production and low efficiency of distributing the resulting wealth among the populace. Great abundance is enjoyed by the few, and deprivation is suffered by most. This is confirmed by standard data on the distribution of wealth in society, where it is generally accepted as true that a decreasing fraction of the population continues to reap an increasing portion of income. See [[Gini Coefficient]]
 
This is the status quo which may be addressed via the [[Open Source Economy]].
 
The [[Open Source Ecology Paradigm]] works on creating the open source economy by creating [[Distributive Enterprise]].
