POVERTY IS "MAN-MADE"
If poverty is not an "accident" but "man-made," as Nelson Mandela has said, neither is poverty inevitable upon the earth. Thus, neither are injustice, nor avarice, nor evil, which produce poverty inevitable upon the earth, despite appearances! Now, if only we could find a historical example of no poverty. The closest that I can come to an actual example is ancient Egypt (Kemet). Therein was no poverty, nor slavery, nor apartheid, historically, nor Biblically. If you believe it was otherwise cite you authority, please.
