Most of the world’s poverty is not self-inflicted, yet apparently many seem to think it is.
My experience, living in Africa, tells me otherwise. Much of global poverty is imposed and I don’t mean by evil “multi-national corporations” or “globalization.” Those myths are easily debunked. The real causes of poverty in these nations are not hard to find.
First, however, I’d like to start with what is not the cause of poverty. People in poor nations are not poor because they lack ambition or are lazy.
When I first moved to Africa, I lived in small apartment. Almost immediately upon moving in there was a knock on the door. A woman asked if she could have a job cleaning for me. The idea was foreign to me. I even had negative emotions about people “exploiting” the poor and hiring them at low wages. I declined, but she begged. She insisted she was a hard worker. My dilemma was that I didn’t have a lot of money. I told her that. She named a wage that seemed ridiculously low.
