Fighting poverty: We've been doing it all wrong | Breakout - Yahoo Finance: ccording to the UN’s Millennium Project close to half the planet lives on less than $2 dollars a day. Here at home more than 46 million people (or about 15% of the U.S. population) live below the poverty line.
For generations kind hearts and well-meaning groups have thrown money at the problem. It turns out we may have been doing it all wrong.
Father Robert Sirico is the founder of the Acton Institute, a group that, among other things, marries ideas of capitalism with religion. One of the institutes key projects is PovertyCure, “an international coalition of organizations and individuals committed to entrepreneurial solutions to poverty that challenge the status quo and champion the creative potential of the human person.” In short, Fr. Sirico and his group are trying to change the way we battle poverty.
