Puh, ich habe das Gegenbeispiel gefunden:

Dachte für eine Sekunde Industrieller könnte recht haben.
Zitat"Over the past decade, the UN, world leaders and pundits have promoted a self-congratulatory message of impending victory over poverty, but almost all of these accounts rely on the World Bank's international poverty line, which is utterly unfit for the purpose of tracking such progress," said Alston. The expert condemned the near universal reliance on the bank's line, which he said is deeply flawed and yields a deceptively positive picture."
Although the World Bank claims that the number of people in extreme poverty fell from 1.9 billion in 1990 to 736 million in 2015, says Alston, he adds that is "scandalously unambitious", and evidence shows it doesn't even cover the cost of food or housing in many countries.
The poverty decline it purports to show is due largely to rising incomes in a single country, China. And it obscures poverty among women and those often excluded from official surveys, such as migrant workers and refugees.
Zitat"[...] I remember visiting China, and meeting with key people in charge of a taskforce eradicating extreme poverty, where it would be clear the discussion was how you could take [a] village or situation to get people the extra three cents a day [to get them over the threshold], not about how to improve their miserable situation. It was a statistical challenge."
Also hat der Neoliberalismus aus propagandistischem Eigeninteresse das Narrativ der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas von der Beseitigung der Armut gestützt. Hm, ergibt schon Sinn die Versorgungslage der chinesischen Bevölkerung war 1990 deutlich besser als die armer Bevölkerungen anderswo. Vorstellbar, dass es vergleichsweise billig war Menschen massenhaft über eine niedrige Schwelle zu bringen. Ich habe dieses Geschichtchen immer so hingenommen, aber der Eindruck war ja doch ein anderer, schnelle technische Modernisierung und damit Produktivitätssteigerung bei sehr ungleichem Einkommenswachstum in den verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen.
