> unless you mean focusing on how to improve wealth creation for those people in poverty
To be precise, I meant focusing on making people in poverty better at wealth creation. If that's what you meant, then we're in agreement.
However, I'm not entirely sure that's what you meant, because you talk about wealth creation "for" people in poverty; you use that expression twice. That could mean what I meant, or it could mean "creating wealth and then giving it to people in poverty", which IMO does not help--unless it's just the first step, and the second step is "here are ways to use what you've just been given to get better at creating more wealth for yourself".
Sorry, I thought that my questioning whether you were "suggesting that by focusing on wealth creation for ourselves, we improve their chances for wealth creation" clarified it. I was talking about improving the property of "ability to create wealth" for people who are under-served by the current system.
This can include a range of things, like better access to healthcare and improved nutrition, as well as schemes to help people start businesses. Things are still pretty dire for an upsettingly large number of people in the world.
