So far without really mentioning it, Anthony Peake is along the lines of spiritual stuff. The concept of improvement alone is biblical. "It will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven". The thing is, we're still in development. What causes poverty is money itself. It rules us to a point where we'd allow bankrupcy to shut us down, and we'd stop maintaining what order keeps us alive in these numbers. A fraction of military spending, or a piece of the Vatican's wealth could end poverty, not just by feeding them, but by terraforming the lands to make them bare fruits and create jobs.
