Author Shah on March 22, 2009 wrote an article about the causes of poverty. At the beginning of the article, there is a list of the facts of the poverty. For example, nearly a billion people in 21st century are illiterate. Shah stated that the brief causes of poverty were mentioned more often than the deeper and more global causes of poverty. In fact, the global causes played an important role in the causes of poverty.
The writer believed that the globalization was needed to put into account. Since the globalization made the world connected closely, it also marketed the captalism all over world. So it made the wealthy and powerful even more wealthy and powerful. The poor countries still stayed poor and poor. In the end, the poor countries will not have any chance to improve their life, health system, lowering the rate of the illiterate, GDP, and etc.
I think the author made a good point about the causes of poverty. The poor countries had little chance to improve their own life when the rest of the more wealthy countries are interconnectedness. They had hard time to get involved in the global activities since the poor countries had little money and power. The global point of view was actually an excellent point toward the causes of the poverty, instead of the internal causes.
