[lbo-talk] question on poverty and world bank's PPP

[Jeffrey Fisher]

my point was that i understand the question, but don't understand the point of the question.

does that somehow mitigate current poverty? is there any reason why it *should* be as bad as when the first world was developing, whether it is or isn't?
