Here’s a little more sanity in the discussion about poverty that I alluded to earlier. The NZ Herald reports that a group of 100 economist from the US, Europe, Australia and the Russia have called for rich countries to cut agricultural tarrifs and subsidies that condemn poor countries to a cycle of poverty. They write -
“Further delay condemns many to a continuing cycle of poverty, denying them the opportunities for further development and economic growth. Countries have immense responsibilities for the external effects of their domestic policies.”
If you are looking for a moral issue connected to poverty, it is right here.
