Within entrenched patriarchal systems this is to be expected. Doesn't matter whether leaders are in business suits or clerical robes (also remember the Vatican and its extensive world-wide real estate portfolio). The wealth travels to the top while ordinary people mostly struggle. The Chinese (at present) seem to be the only power structure which keeps excesses under control (I am happy to be corrected or for further discussion to ensue).
