> Definitely not calculated decisions to make progress to getting out of poverty. Yes, that's one of the big problems. If you take someone from an environment where they're taught to make the right decisions and put them in a situation of poverty, they will often be able to make the right decisions and improve their situation. If you take someone that's never learned how to make the right decisions (or that there are even decisions to be made) there's little hope that they will do the right thing. That's what makes poverty a tough problem.
