I agree that IP law needs an overhaul and I am not a fan of granting IP monopolies. I think the rapid change in poverty levels may actually be due to globalism and off shoring. If the most basic of jobs are now done by overseas workers or immigrants, suddenly the quality of life in countries that are beneficiaries of that work increases. Imported food, mass production of goods on a grand scale. Cheap Walmart products made in China that even people on the poverty line can afford. This would not be possible without globalism. You could argue that capitalism and globalism go hand in hand, but again, I don't think capitalism necessarily leads to globalism.
