Poverty as it was the case with the Greek civilisation is more often then not to cause of an unbalance betwen the wealth and power of his diffrent social classes. Meaning that when the wealthy have to much influence and power they make sure to stay that way witch cause the peapol with lower income to suffer de for them. For exemple when a country has to many deps like the United States must raise its taxes to compensate the common classes always end up being the one paying the most while the richer citisens are protected by the laws they mades sure where voted for. In my point of view the best remedy for poverty would be to make sure that the laws made to makes sure that every citizens is treaten envenly would actually be respected and not filled with lophole that help the richs get richer. Such a harsh change would probably unpset temporalie the balance of power and provoke many companie to leave our country but in the long run we would be rewarded with a prize many have fighted for before us.... equality.
