Unfortunately one more essay about the poverty that doesn't touch the essential issue, "population". In the book he is writing of 6 billions people, little than 10 years after we are 7.7 billions. Africa economy is growing and someplace even at 10% figures but average population is growing much more, that's the main cause of poverty. Do you see differences between China and India? Of course, China is much more head than India as development and diffuse wealth, the main reason? Birth control, the policy of "one child" has been the real engine of Chinese miracle. One more insite, in India since '60ies and stressed during Indira Gandhi rule, there is a family planning that works quite fine, but see some difference that are coping with what I'm saying, Indus and Christian are following it and indeed their people are improving very much, Muslims doesn't and their population is growing in number but not in wealth. Need more arguments? Go and see yourself, unfortunately the "scientists", the "economists", the "politicians" cannot say things straight and that is another problem. Until we are dominated by the Politically Correctness hypocrisy there will be no hope to have a better future.
