It's no secret that inequality is skyrocketing - but according to various international institutions, extreme poverty is also diminishing. So what's the future of poverty - and why don't some critics trust the organizations created to fight it? - SOURCES: http://ourworldindata.org/data/growth-and-distribution-of-prosperity/world-poverty/ http://www.worldbank.org/content/dam/Worldbank/document/State_of_the_poor_paper_April17.pdf http://www.un.org/webcast/summit2005/MDGBook.pdf http://data.worldbank.org/news/extreme-poverty-rates-continue-to-fall https://consultations.worldbank.org/consultation/review-and-update-world-bank-safeguard-policies http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/reports/2013/04/ending-extreme-poverty-chandy/the_final_countdown.pdf http://www.globaldashboard.org/2013/04/30/the-future-of-global-poverty-what-if-there-were-multiple-horizons-for-aid/ http://www.kcl.ac.uk/aboutkings/worldwide/initiatives/global/intdev/people/Sumner/Edward-Sumner-Version04March2013.pdf http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2015/11/08/rapid-climate-informed-development-needed-to-keep-climate-change-from-pushing-more-than-100-million-people-into-poverty-by-2030 http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/09/world/climate-change-create-poor-homeless http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/16/world-banks-broken-promise_n_7054842.html http://www.commondreams.org/news/2013/10/08/world-bank-admits-economic-growth-africa-resource-extraction-inequality-poverty http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/04/17/399816448/when-the-world-bank-does-more-harm-than-good https://books.google.com/books/about/The_globalization_of_poverty_and_the_new.html?id=cGFzJgAACAAJ - SUBSCRIBE | http://bit.ly/stdwytk-sub WEBSITE | http://bit.ly/stdwytk-home AUDIO PODCAST | http://bit.ly/stdwytk-audio-itunes TWITTER | http://bit.ly/stdwytk-twitter FACEBOOK | http://bit.ly/stdwytk-fb EMAIL | Conspiracy@HowStuffWorks.com STORE | http://stufftheydontwantyoutoknow.spreadshirt.com Here are the facts.

The difficulty with theorems like the Malthusian scenario is that when abject poverty is supported by outside agencies by cash and material relief, the effected people make more babies. After 18 years, these babies mature and create another batch, increasing the need and the number of impoverished, while consuming resources, and reducing avaiable land for remaining wildlife.

you enslave people by creating debt. that's how countries go bankrupt and are forced to sell their national resources. look at Argentina for example.
-
so, its 2016 and still more than 10% poverty.... I wonder how hard they tried...oh wait, no I don't...
-
I say people stop donating their shitty clothes and shoes to Africa and start murdering all the CEOs of the World Bank if they want to be charitable.
-
I know how to make everyone rich in 60 years. If you were the only guy in NY then you would own all the land, oil, gold etc which would make you rich so instead of having 7.4 billion people you have like only 400 million people. You do this by not making more human poopers which even a rock can do.
-
for 64 people to hold one third of the worlds wealth . unfortunatly there has to be 1.4 billion at the bottom
-
Just to look at the other side of the story now...If poverty is going down, how do we know that the World Bank is actually making more poverty?
-
if you want to stop or at least slow down climate change stop eating meat
-
The world bank was created to enslave poor nations....
-
Look at this organization I’m getting paid. Everything you do is store some cash and they site put your cash in things, resources and monetary forms in addition to you get paid day by day.

That's why I'm voting for BERNIE SANDERS

The literature produced by the UN is so DELUSIONAL.
-
Even IF true, 'Placing the impovrished under the control of global financial systems' is still far better than the current status of -under no financial system. Seriously, poverty is not a simple issue of handing out money. And with more than 2x the population of the USA living on less than 2 USD per day anything is better than just sitting around talking (and selling books) about how bad the problem is, even if mistakes are made along the way.

Chossudovsky? Like he is the only one that thinks like that :)
-
I love how I get an NRA ad while watching a vide by this channel haha
-
To control the world they create chaos and then put nations into debt to rebuild them. Right now debt rules the world and it's controlled by central banks. But the bubble will burst...

Who believed that the world bank would povertise itself to solidify financial solidarity for the human race?😂😂😂Lmfao to tears. Why even the gods give rebuttal in regards to ideology of sharing. Still don't believe? Let's equate common sense based on the same decree... Give of what you have freely to no end, And in the end...For helping the needy you will find yourself suffering from need. A very real analogy in mental form. By the sweat of man's brow: He shall eat. Who says God's are obsolete or not apparent to the concern of rules of engagement in reference of humanity and it's persistent survival of perseverance. There is no success... only survival.

Strange voice , it can get really annoying doe . Good video anyway
-
the poverty line used to be $2/day. u know how to halve world poverty in an instant? lower poverty line to $1/day. what is this living on $1.90/day lol. i would end world poverty and make poverty line to $0.00/day and presto no more poverty.
poor ppl are poor because theyre genitals on 2 legs. poverty has never stopped a morons erection from impregnating a childish female, thats the story of majority. 95% of all males should be castrated. -
