This document discusses strategies for fighting poverty. It states that traditional means of production like agriculture are not enough to support large populations or allow for a high standard of living. For this reason, societies without developed industry tend to be poor. It suggests that poorer societies can become richer by applying modern industrial techniques, establishing trade with developed nations, educating citizens for industry, allowing immigration, lowering tariffs, investing locally, and relocating industry. However, humanitarian aid and relief efforts do not create wealth in the same way as economic development. The document stresses distinguishing economic development measures from humanitarian assistance.
