Chapter 501: The Nature of Poverty (1)

At noon, Kishimoto Masayoshi went to Makoto Natsui for lunch as usual. As soon as she got the door, she said happily: "They can talk."

Immediately, Masayoshi Kishimoto became happy. He rushed into the nursery to see his children and said, "Come on, be good, call him dad."

Lying in the crib, they just opened their eyes and looked at him. The two of them couldn't understand what the other party was saying.

"Call dad." Kishimoto Masayoshi intentionally slowed down his speech and actively guided them to call themselves.

The two little guys were unmoved at all and were still just looking at him.

Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at Makoto Natsui who had stopped beside him and said, "You are lying to me."

"Who lied to you? I just called my mother. I didn't want to take care of them day and night." Makoto Natsui was very moved.

"If I don't make money, you guys will eat air!" Kishimoto Masayoshi turned his head again and looked at his pair of precious children and said.

The two little guys suddenly laughed at him in a tacit understanding.

Makoto Natsui couldn't help laughing with her daughters and said, "Since you gave birth to them, you have to raise them for granted."

Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at her again unhappily and said, "Why was your father so casual when he gave birth to you?"

"If the children don't call you dad, you can't spread your anger on me!" Xia Jing Makoto said in grievance and hurt.

"I'm sorry, I'm anxious." Masayoshi Kishimoto took the initiative to reach out and pull her right hand.

Makoto Nakai naturally would not take his words into his heart and said, "Do you think that the poor are not only lazy in all their limbs, but also stupid in their heads?"

"No, no. You mean this view of the poor is a fallacy. Or, the prejudice of ordinary people towards the poor and a kind of smear.

The reason why poor people are poor is largely because their cognition limits their actual operations. In addition, the limitation of the social environment makes their actual operations too rough.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto had read a book called "The Essence of Poverty". This book was published in 2011. In 2019, the author of the book won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

In addition, the 2018 Nobel Prize winner in Economics also gave a new definition of the reason why the poor cannot get rid of poverty.

The reason why poor people are poor is not necessarily because of laziness and stupidity, but because external factors play a great role and influence.

For example, war. Even if you have a smart head and diligent limbs, it will be difficult to play a role, and whether you can survive will even be a problem.

Makoto Nakai didn't quite understand what he was saying: "Can you say it simply and easily understand?"

"It is generally believed that the reason why poor people are poor is that they like to have children. Originally, they didn't eat enough cakes, but they still had to share some of them for the children.

In fact, the child is not full. Logically speaking, you should not give birth again. However, they have given birth again, and not only intend to end it, but there is even a possibility that they can give birth indefinitely.

This result will lead to children not receiving enough nutrition and it will be even more difficult to talk about education." Masayoshi Kishimoto talked freely.

"What's the problem?" Makoto Natsui asked thoughtfully.

"It is their business for a woman, or a couple, to have many children, and God gives them the most basic human rights.

However, the problem of having children is not that simple and after giving birth, but requires long-term nurturing. In poor countries, they will think that their poverty is because the poorer they are, the more they are, the poorer they are, and then they enter a vicious cycle.

In fact, this is not the case, because society lacks the necessary financial security system. For example, the poor often do not have the idea of ​​pension.

Giving more children or having sons is for the purpose of elderly care. Secondly, the probability problem is that the child born may have a bad relationship with the parents, or they may have a very poor relationship, etc.

Therefore, in order to increase the probability that you can feel at ease, you will naturally choose to have more lives, and there will always be someone who can be good to you.

It sounds quite ridiculous on the surface, because you are in a modern society with a perfect social financial security system. In fact, it is a good idea to put yourself in your shoes and think about it for them. After all, without a retirement home, medical insurance, etc.," Kishimoto Masayoshi said slowly.

This is the first time that Makoto Nakai has heard such a novel saying. Although she is also a poor man from the bottom of society, she has long been out of poverty and a prosperous life at the moment.

For this reason, her thoughts naturally began to move closer to the ideas in mainstream society. The reason why poor people are poor is laziness and stupidity.

"Just talk about you! In the past, did you admit that you were lazy? You worked so long a day and didn't even have weekends. Why are you still poor?" Kishimoto Masayoshi said calmly.

"Because, because the rent in Tokyo is too expensive, the food is expensive, and water, electricity, gas and coal are also expensive... I don't know." Makoto Natsui said a little confused.

"Since you think that living in Tokyo is expensive, you can choose not to live in Tokyo and go back to your hometown Wakayama Prefecture!" Kishimoto Masayoshi said bluntly.

"The hourly wages in Wakayama Prefecture are not as high as those in Tokyo, and they are much less. Besides, Tokyo has more opportunities than Wakayama Prefecture. Tokyo is prosperous and lively, etc.," Natsui Makoto blurted out.

"High hourly wages will inevitably lead to a high cost of living in a city or region. On the contrary, low hourly wages will also lead to a low cost of living in a city or region.

All of this is determined by economic laws. Of course, there are factors that are controlled by people. At least, in my opinion, you still have the choice of people who are not the most miserable..." Masayoshi Kishimoto said it all.

"I was not suffering in the past, so why did it be miserable?" Makoto Xia Jing disagreed and interrupted his words before he finished speaking.

"The college graduates who came from small places but had to work in big cities are not from wealthy families, they are all from ordinary families, or even children from poor families.

It is definitely difficult for the family to support their financially, and everything depends on personal hard work. Will you find a job related to computer game development in a small place?

Such. Some of them are forced to accept the increase in rents in big cities and dare not leave. It is because they leave big cities that they can't even find their corresponding professional jobs.

Landlords are still confident when prices rise. When housing prices rise, rents should naturally rise." Kishimoto Masayoshi said slowly.
