    Maybe, I’m not sure what would happen if literacy and math skills rose globally.

    After thinking about it for 30s (so my point is not very thought out), I think it would impact poverty, but not for the reason you think, I expect people would vote differently, and that would have an impact on poverty. I don’t think it would reduce poverty because people would spend more wisely, poverty imo is not a lack of management, it is a vicious circle you can’t easily escape.

      That’s actually exactly what I think. A much greater focus on facts and figures. A whole lot less emphasis on feels.
