Poverty relative to currency. Judging from how this world operates, thats not a great benchmark
I agree. Same number of people living in extreme poverty today as were living in extreme poverty 200 years ago. Population 200 years ago was 1.1 billion.
Yeah, it's hard to compare but I think we're net worse off
Monetary wealth is good
But we are resource poor. Constantly need to buy and replace things
Time poor
Majority not self sufficient so doesn't matter how much money you make or nice stuff you have, we're locked into a diminishing returns lifestyle
