But it is true that at all previous periods in world history, there has never been a time when everybody was wealthy - although it could also be pointed out that in prehistoric societies operating on the economic system of hunting and gathering, while there was no actual wealth, there was no poverty either. Broadly speaking, some people succeed in life and others are less successful, for a variety of reasons, which involve accidents of birth as well as opportunities which may or may not come to any given individual, as well as varying levels of actual ability. Poverty is a kind of default condition into which people will inevitably fall if they are not successful in creating an economic basis for their lives. So far, economic opportunities are not growing nearly as fast as the global population is.
