Description
Economist Jeffrey Sachs has pointed out that for most of history, "everybody in the world was poor." As societies grew richer, they formed different attitudes toward poverty. The Greeks thought it played an essential role in society, whereas the Chinese developed sophisticated programs to prevent famine and extreme need. And though the Industrial Revolution promised an end to hunger, it may have ended up widening the gap between rich and poor. This animated film takes a look at the history of poverty, from Paleolithic times through to today's era of financial meltdowns, examining the variety of perspectives about it, what drives it, and what might halt it for good. A viewable/printable instructor's guide is available online.
