The main underlying cause of global poverty

This is of course a talk designed to move people emotionally (and of course it should move us), but the point Gary Haugen is very important. The main underlying cause of global poverty is the everyday violence and the lack of safety. In the poorest countries, even when there are laws in place, law enforcement is not effective and sometimes even nonexistent. Private security flourishes in these countries, but only the rich in those countries can buy it.
