The document discusses the concepts of poverty through history. It defines absolute and relative poverty. In the 16th century, poverty was addressed through lists of poor people, licenses for begging, and locking beggars in hospitals. Enlightenment ideas in the 18th century favored welfare states over private charity and public institutions to aid the poor. Asturias had high population growth but poor harvests in the late 18th century, with the lowest per capita income in Spain.

1. INTRODUCTION
• Economy is the science that related
the shortage with the unlimited needs.
• Adam Smith “Society can’t be
developed and happy if the majority of
the people live in poverty and misery”.
2. POVERTY CONCEPT
Absolute poverty: refers to the deprivation of basic human needs, which
poverty
commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, health care and
