Poverty cannot be "cured", for it is not a symptom of the disease of capitalism. Quite the reserve: it is evidence of its robust good health, its spur to even greater acumulation and effort. Even the very richest in the world complain above all about all the things they must forego. Even the most privileged are compelled to bear within themselves the urgency for striving to acquire.
