- danharaj 10y agoThose are only half of the numbers. Yes, poverty has been reduced, but the global wealthy have seen their ownership over the collective wealth of humanity increase much more drastically. Where are the numbers that demonstrate that the only way to raise people out of poverty was to sell their countries' resources to the highest bidder and turn them into markets for international capital? This question investigates a counterfactual claim. Could poverty be eliminated in a world without neoliberal politics determining the structure of the global economy?
