You can make the whole world not poor (and quite a few people not as rich as they are). Solution is simple - allow free movement of goods, services AND people. Perhaps also follow-up with allowing anyone to buy any piece of land anywhere so that rich can also buy up cheaper land (fair deal?). A lot of reasons for conflict (and need to organize around nation states) will stop remaining so important. I guess, one can dream...

This post took me back to 1995 when I bought a PC from Best Buy on no interest payment plan, while FOB in US as a graduate student. I downloaded some primitive VoIP App (don't recall the name, seem to remember something Intel had released) and instantly connected with someone in South Africa. This discussion very well captures the feeling I still vaguely remember from back then. PS: I forgot to pay off in time and I had to pay the full accumulated interest along with penalty at the end of the 18 months. Expensive lesson.
