2. Poverty in general
Poverty is the inability to satisfy one's basic needs because one
can´t afford to buy services or have access to services.
Absolute poverty is the state in which there is a big lack of basic
human needs, which includes food, water, sanitation, clothing,
shelter, health and education.
Relative poverty is being below some income. One may be
relatively poor, without being absolutely poor. For most of history
poverty had been mostly accepted as inevitable as traditional
modes of production were insufficient to give an entire population
a comfortable standard of living. After the industrial revolution,
mass production in factories made wealth increasingly more
inexpensive and accessible. Of more importance is the
modernization of agriculture, such as fertilizers, in order to provide
enough yield to feed the population. People who practice
asceticism intentionally live in economic poverty so as to attain
spiritual wealth.
