			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our society today is caught in the reality where only about 10 percent of the population can afford to buy everything.<br />
Some 20 percent can afford many somethings; and the remaining 80 percent can afford just a little something. And many times, this 80 percent is unable to afford sustained medication or daily food or basic shelter</p>
<p>But the 21st Century offers us a breakthrough thinking towards the deconstruction of this economic pyramid.</p>
<p>One such thinking has been slowly advanced by Prof. Pralahad of ‘Wharton’s School of Economics. Pralahad’s continuing research suggests, among other ideas, that if those who have, extend a hand of partnership (or assistance) to those who have less, something short of a miracle can happen.</p>
<p>Those at the bottom of the economic pyramid&#8211;when given a chance to be partners in an economic activity, like being able to buy what the haves enjoy&#8211;participate with dignity, greater motivation, and with desired results both for self and society.</p>
<p>For example, shampoo is a commodity which used to be affordable only for those who have. But when it was repacked into small affordable sachets, those who have less are now able to afford it, too.</p>
<p>This kind of participation in the use of shampoo both by those who have and those who have less is the kind of partnering MMO Card Corporation would want to celebrate. This sharing” lifts the have-less out of the bondage of continued deprivation.</p>
<p>MMO Card celebrates this hand of partnership. By extending the credit card system to those who have less is no ordinary thinking It is not even extraordinary; rather, it is breakthrough thinking. It breaks the barriers of stereotype in all sectors&#8211;the capitalists and the consumers.</p>
<p>This sharing creates a space of equal opportunities for the rich and the poor It allows for both sides of the divide to take their options and grow themselves towards a desired state of personhood and global citizenship.</p>
