What are causes of poverty?
Most of the time since the beginning of civilization most people have lived in condition we now call poverty. Starting a few hundred years ago some countries began to industrialize and became wealthy enough so that some and then most people did not live in poverty. However even today their are counties where the vast majority live in poverty and others a large minority which add up 1/6 of the worlds population. It is not what countries/people do that causes poverty it is what they did not do so a better way to look at it is what causes wealth.
