    Highlights

    • The common notion that extreme poverty is the “natural” condition of humanity and only declined with the rise of capitalism rests on income data that do not adequately capture access to essential goods.
    • Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
    • The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
    • In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered.
    • Where progress has occurred, significant improvements in human welfare began only around the 20th century. These gains coincide with the rise of anti-colonial and socialist political movements.

    Btw, the rescue efforts by the US and Canadian govt are entirely performative. They know those men are dead. They are merely signaling to other billionaires and oligarchs that they will always put down endless taxpayer dollars to protect their safety and status, even from their own stupidity. Just because of their wealth, which is stolen from those less fortunate. While the poor will never be extended the same amount of support, especially those who are most vulnerable, such as those migrating to escape hellish living conditions.
