Does "fighting poverty" mean to fight the people who profit from slave labor?
Because in my experience, "fighting poverty" is often translated to "let's educate all people and at the end no one will have to work on a cotton field". While wearing and eating slave labor products.
In German there is a quote that says "a society can't make a living by everyone giving each other a haircut". While I don't think that the answer is to subsidize manufacturing of goods (that's the context of the original quote IIRC), I think that this equally applies to what we call "skilled labor".
