This article was a vague gesture towards a projected future. A numbers magic trick.
Capitalism leads to unequal development at all scales. Be it between nations or inside their borders.
That can be justified with vague meritocracy or hard racism/classism. Whatever floats your boat. But it has nothing to do with individuals, the reality lies within the capitalist mode of production in itself which is fundamentally based on the inequality between social classes. Those who have no means of subsistence sell their work. Those who have the means buy their work. Profit is the product of the exploitation of this social relationship.
Poverty is not only an income measure, it is also relative to your society. You cannot solve this gap without addressing how this mode of production functions.
