False Reasons Of The Poverty

The poverty is a product of natural insufficient resources not neither of a national limited territory, nor either of high levels of illiteracy, nor of lack of technical preparation.


 The misery of the poor is not provoked by the fact that any persons or companies are rich, not because the gap between rich and poor expands. The greed and the speculation are not the culprits.


 The poverty is not the result of which the governments, both the places and the distant ones, are insensitive to the realities of the poverty and have not made the macroeconomic planning needed, or initiated the sufficient projects of development, or distributed gigantic sums of money.

Poverty does not exist because the foreign and internal debt is a heavy load, which it sinks to the seasoned nations, not for the deficit of his scales of payments. It does not also exist because the local currency is weak, or it was attacked, or was devaluated. It does not exist because a government is insolvent, inefficient, thieving, or any other adjective.

 Simply it is not true that the rich countries obtain high prices for his elaborated products whereas the poor countries have to conform to low prices for his raw, not sophisticated materials.

The truth is that the practical solution to the poverty does not rest with paternalistic employers, victorious unions, financing of the government, redistribution of the land, super-advanced technology, universal education, democratic choices supervised by the Organization of United Nations, populist politicians, the condonation of the debt, donations of the Banco Mundial, not with international congresses.

Las causas de la pobreza son otras. Existen estructuras económicas que impiden el progreso y que perpetúan actitudes empobrecedoras. Si no las identificamos y las corregimos, difícilmente podremos crear prosperidad, sin importar cuánto tiempo, recursos, dinero, preocupación, lamentos o sermones dediquemos a la solución de la pobreza.
