#8 Current issue of Scientific American: Can Extreme Poverty Be Eliminated
Subtitle: Market economics and globalization are lifting the bulk of humanity out of extreme poverty, but special measures are needed to help the poorest of the poor. Poverty, by their definition, has been coming down steadily for decades.

Almost everyone who ever lived was wretchedly poor. Famine, death from childbirth, infectious disease and countless other hazards were the norm for most of history. Humanity's sad plight started to change with the Industrial Revolution, beginning around 1750. New scientific insights and technological innovations enabled a growing proportion of the global population to break free of extreme poverty.

What? The government didn't do it? Whaddabout the socialists? Jane Fonda?

I'll read it at home, but you can go to:
