william.maggoseconomies opened up and poverty decreased, as expected. you are connecting opening these economies with more billionaires, such that if at the same time as the economies opened up, they taxed wealth so there were less billionaires but more education and better infrastructure and health care for the poor etc, you'd argue poverty would get worse. that's ridiculous. more billionaires and less poverty are both a result of a more open economy, but taxes used well can also help.
