POVESTORY: Make Poverty History

Step 1: Create a robust Land Registry System
Step 2: Organise an Intellectual Property Registry System
Step 3: Distribute a Micro-Credit Money System (eg.Grameen Bank)
Step 4: Install Internet-based collaborative communities (Start with one Internet connection per village/community).

Finally eliminate or reduce the BIG C of Corruption which makes enterprise too time-consuming and expensive and that usually spells the premature still-birth or death of fledgling enterprises.

On POVERTY Eleanor Roosevelt long ago said it very nicely: "The freedom of man...is the freedom to eat."

I'll add: Where there is hunger/there is no freedom.
