Capitalism is conquering poverty all over the world.

Capitalism has nearly destroyed starvation in the last 50 years. Step outside the USA and consider the improvement in the lives of extremely poor people. 50 years ago 50% of the world was on the brink of starvation. Now it is under 9% Where is this happening? The United States? No! Extreme poverty has been stamped out in the US long ago. The poorest countries are gaining relative prosperity quickly. Another dollar a day may seem like nothing to someone living in the US, but to the extreme poor, it means pushing starvation out of the immediate picture.
