The Artificial Imposition of Poverty
James Peron
President, Moorfield Storey Institute
Posted: 11/16/11 09:40 AM ET
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.

Ned Vare, Champion of Free Learning, R.I.P.
Ned Vare, whose passions were so extensive he would have made a Renaissance man proud, died July 22 in his home in Guilford at the age of 75. He had been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and in declining health for several months.
Known to many in Guilford through his regular appearances on public access television lambasting the public school system and extolling the virtues of home schooling, he was much more than a contrarian to officialdom.
He found in golf, architecture, and even politics avenues to explore his appetite for adventure and excellence. Author of books on golf and home schooling, he was also an avid gardener who lectured on that subject, as well.
He lived the last 18 years of his life in a house he designed with an array of features inspired by his time in the West. On the walls were pictures he had painted and in the living room, furniture he had designed. Outside, the landscape reflected his love affair with nature and his desire to live in harmony with his environment. Benefiting from passive solar gain, his plants came to life indoors ahead of the season; innovative rain barrels provided water for the extensive gardens, and the bounty of the flowers and vegetables were shared with many fortunate friends.
