I thought this article was interesting. I will just post the summary of the article. It is called, '5 Statistics Showing How Capitalism Solves Poverty'.
1. The number of people living in extreme poverty worldwide declined by 80% from 1970-2006
2. Poverty worldwide included 94% of the world's population in 1820. In 2011, it was only 17%
3. Globally, those in the lower and middle income brackets saw increases of pay of 40% from 1988 to 2008
4. The world is 120% times better off today than in 1800 as a result of capitalism
5. Mortality rates for children under the age of 5 declined by 49% from 1990 to 2013

The other day, I was listening to Ben Shapiro. He was talking about poverty and mentioned the 3 rules for staying out of poverty.
3 Rules For Staying Out Of Poverty
1. Graduating from high school
2. Waiting to get married until 21, and do not have children till after being married
3. Having a full time job
These rules are according to Brookings Institute, which has thoroughly studied the subject of poverty.
Many homes are broken or dysfunctional today. Parents are not able to train or nurture their children. The children grow up and have no idea how to function in society.
One other factor to consider as well is homes without fathers. Our culture does not value parental authority highly enough. I think many have heard of how moms are important, but our families need men to lead and provide. Men can impart something very important, very special to their children, that no one else can.
