(November 2005) We are using every means to make poverty disappear, organising encounters, meetings and seminars: the result is it’s increasing.
There’s no such thing as wealth in itself. The same applies to poverty. What exist are differences which provoke exchange phenomena.
If we are equally poor, or even equally rich, there is no exchange.
The economy is based on these differences in potential, which must be maintained at all costs.
Nobody would dream of eliminating the poor, what’s needed is to maintain the differences!
