In order to find out the essence of human poverty, how did Banneker, the Nobel laureate in economics, investigate?

In order to find out the essence of human poverty, Ban Naji and Defoe I * * * spent 15 years in many countries on five continents, especially 18 countries and regions with the highest concentration of poor people, and jointly wrote the monograph "The Essence of Poverty: Why Can't We Get rid of Poverty". In addition, they also explore the real root of poverty from many aspects such as the daily life, education and health of the poor.

Throughout the history of human poverty, it is not difficult to find that the more people outside help, the less likely they are to fundamentally help the poor get rich. The way of thinking determines the way out. Not rich at all. If you throw it right, you will become rich. If you make a mistake, you will still be poor! Poverty is not only an objective reality, but also a regenerative product of politics, economy and society.

Compared with other developing countries, the United States, which is already a superpower, has always been very good in terms of wages and welfare. Many people immigrate to the United States in order to get a green card in the United States and enjoy the generous welfare benefits in the United States. But in America, there are still many poor people, even slums. Because welfare is only a subsidy, it can't make the poor rich, so the poor are still poor.

Ban Naji, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, once pointed out in his investigation report that the more aid, the stronger the dependence of the poor people and the ineffectiveness of external aid. As long as the division of human society does not disappear, poverty will not disappear, because social division and stratification are difficult to disappear, so poverty will be difficult to disappear. How many poor people there are and what kind of state is considered as poverty does not necessarily depend on how many real poor people there are objectively, but to a great extent depends on how much moral responsibility the state and society are willing to bear in their political and economic game.
