The essence of poverty

2.20 The essence of poverty-The book The United States (John Kenneth Galbraith) originated in India in the early 1960s, when the United States had a huge and expensive plan to aid Indian agriculture. In this paper, the author pays attention to the poverty situation of almost everyone in rural communities and the reasons for their poverty. The reasons for poverty explained by others at the beginning are: poverty in natural conditions, the role of the government and economic physique, the lack of national development funds, the lack of talents, and the inherent tendency of nationality, climate or latitude.

The author thinks that there are two main reasons for poverty. One is the balance of poverty, which mainly refers to the infinite cycle of poverty and prosperity, so that one world is in the dynamic of poverty and the other world is in the protected prosperity; The other is to accept poverty. The poor believe that acceptance is the best way to solve poverty. The rich regard the existence of the poor as the reason for reasonable order, and another part of the reason is that they are guided by the major religions in the world, and religions urge people to obey without exception.

After mentioning the two causes of poverty, the author also mentioned two ways to break the acceptance and balance, education and immigration. The author thinks that basic education must take precedence over improving technology and complicated guidance directly related to the economy, and he does not think that industrialization can get rid of poverty; He also stressed the importance of immigration, which may upset the poverty balance, such as immigrants from Europe.
