Thomas Sowell talks about poverty. Poverty isn’t solved by simply redistributing wealth. The real question is: what policies actually create more opportunities for people to improve their lives?

Thomas Sowell: "I'm afraid that I haven't even looked for the causes of poverty. I regard poverty is just simply the absence of wealth. So what I look for are the things that cause wealth to occur."

Thomas Sowell: “I regard poverty as simply the absence of wealth, so what I look for are the things that cause wealth to occur.” “Everyone is born poor and ignorant. To the extent that people become different, we have to find out what things enable them to become different.”

Thomas Sowell dismantles a widespread belief: that poverty is a moral problem whose solution belongs to intellectuals. Humanity, he reminds us, (after the great fall )began in poverty. There’s nothing surprising about that. What truly deserves explanation is why some societies and some individuals managed to create wealth, and why some did so better than others. Much of today’s public debate skips that question entirely and simply assumes that poverty is the default condition of mankind and that wealth is something that has to be “explained” or “justified” — usually as the result of exploitation or some other moral failing.

“There’s no explanation needed for poverty—the species began in poverty. What you really need to know is what are the things that enable some countries and some groups within countries to become prosperous.” — Thomas Sowell

Official “poverty” in America is not what most people think it is. Thomas Sowell points out that what Washington defines as poverty would be considered upper-middle class in Mexico. Most people in that category have microwave ovens, central air conditioning, and at least one car — many have two. The average person classified as poor in the US has more living space than the average European. This is not poverty by any historical standard. The real catastrophe is not material want. It’s the breakdown of behavior, the explosion of crime, and the loss of basic safety that came with the same non-judgmental mindset that built the modern welfare state. Sowell grew up in Harlem with no television, no car, and almost no books in the house — yet he could walk out at midnight to buy a newspaper without fear. Today that would be unthinkable. Poverty in America is no longer mainly about what people lack. It’s about the squalor of behavior that policy helped create.

Thomas Sowell: "The human race began in poverty, so there is no mysterious explanation as to why some people are poor. The question is, why have some people gotten prosperous, and in particular why have some gotten prosperous to a greater degree than others."

The number of Americans living under the poverty line has continued to shrink for decades. But what if the data is wrong? Michael Green explains why the real poverty line is actually $140,000 per year.

BEE has benefited only a few politically connected elites. The DA's Economic Inclusion Bill will benefit everyone by focusing on poverty, not race. This will open doors for more South Africans, fight poverty, and create opportunities for all!

I love this clip where Michael Parenti points out capitalism requires poverty to function as the wealth of the elite is produced by the deprivation of the many. It uses poverty as punishment to maintain low wages and keep people afraid of losing their jobs.

Great question. What the ADC won’t do is plunge Nigerians into poverty with poorly thought-out policies like the Tinubu/APC subsidy removal has done. What we will do differently is to protect the most vulnerable through targeted subsidies — so that relief actually reaches the people who need it.

Thomas Sowell spent 50 years telling people what the data actually showed. They called him heartless. He was a Marxist in his 20s. Then he started looking at evidence instead of theory. The ideology didn’t survive contact with reality. Black poverty fell from 87% to 47% before the Great Society launched. Sowell noticed. The architects didn’t want to. He answered today’s poverty arguments 30 years ago. The refutations are in print. The arguments didn’t change. Neither did the outcomes. “It doesn’t matter how smart you are unless you stop and think.” The policies kept failing anyway.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not. The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose? Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming? I doubt it.

I got into politics to improve people’s lives - and that’s what our Budget is all about. 👉 Improving NHS waiting times 👉 Building thousands of new affordable homes 👉 Lifting children out of poverty For Scotland, by Scotland, focused on your priorities.

If you take the wealth of all the rich people in the world and give it to the poor, in two years the rich will get their money back, and many of the poor will return to poverty. Wealth is a system, and poverty is a mindset. Here’s how to break out of that mindset.

AIPAC MILLIONAIRE - Ritchie Torres represents the poorest district in the nation… He even ran his campaign on lifting his people out of poverty. Yet he talks about Israel 3320% more than poverty. This is why we are embarrassed of our government:

📺 Westminster’s decisions are pushing more and more families into poverty. Yet Keir Starmer and Labour are backing many of the Tories most damaging policies. 🥀 This begs the question, what is the point of Labour?
