Poverty itself can be caused by many things. But poverty in the most powerful country on Earth is not for a lack of resources.

There was almost nothing you can consider modern science or technology in Ancient Rome.

No matter how powerful Ancient Rome was, it wasn't even comparable to some third world country today.

If poverty exists in a world where resources are plenty for everyone, the root cause is selfishness. Our inability to love others like we love ourselves.
