I&#x27;m curious as to why you think such a distinction would improve discussions.  To me, it seems like an arbitrary distinction to make.<p>But, I suppose it begs a question of why we discuss poverty, at all?  I presume it&#x27;s because some of us don&#x27;t like to see suffering or despair.  Or, we don&#x27;t like some people being left out of prosperity. Or, are there other reasons?
