Despite levels of wealth and development unparalleled in history, billions of people on our planet are still uneducated, poorly housed, sick, inadequately fed or even starving as a result of poverty. Does this 16 from economic development, or can a(n) 17 tide of economic developiment give all humans a basic standard and dignity of life?
It's important to realize that economic activity alone is not enough to 18 poverty. In many poor countries, natural resources such as copper, oil or even land are being exploited by 19 or foreign companies but with little 20 for the local people.
