A lot of the opportunities to escape poverty involve the kind of mindset the wealthy have - calculated risk taking, the entitled confidence to turn up to an interview for a job you suspect you can't do, looking on money as an abstract and rational thing, post-scarcity thinking, the knowledge that it could be possible and socially acceptable to ask wealth people for business loans, and so on. This is in no way blaming those in poverty for not magically knowing how to ace job interviews or detect which risks are worth it, but pointing out that in both cases, X not understanding Y hurts the poor more than the rich.
