Poor people

Our global problem still is that we are consuming vital resources at rates we cannot sustain or at costs to the environment that we cannot or should not pay. This is happening because of both rising consumption by the rich and rising numbers of poor people who consume the bare minimum [4]. Catalysis has a great potential in efficiently using the resources we have.

William Henry Perkin, an 18-year-old working in the back room and outdoor shed of his London home, had discovered in black coal tar a beautiful purple dye that would change the world. For the first time in history, color could be democratized. William Henry Perkin and his purple, later known as mauve, rescued the poor and middle classes from their age-old austerity of hues. Natural dyes were expensive and, before Perkin s synthetic mauve, millions of poor people lived their lives in untreated drab and dingy fibers. Even for the middle class, pieces of brilliantly dyed cloth were treasures to be reused from garment to garment and from year to year. It was the schoolboy William Henry Perkin and his successors who would give the world the ample abundance of tints that only the rich had previously enjoyed. 

Lloyd concurs and adds the patient s social entirety as well, citing a series of studies that show that ecological factors also matter, most surprisingly the income gradient of a society. What matters is not simply the difference between the richest and poorest people in some absolute sense, but the relative difference in their own society. People living in a relatively poor society can lead healthier lives than people living in a richer society if the difference between the richest and the poorest in their society is less. What really matters is how much poorer poor people are in a society relative to the richest people. However, Lloyd s later appeal to data drawn from primate studies might lead some to cry reductionism . The human species is unique. No inferences can be made from other species, even primate species, to us. 

There is no indication in these data of a consistent monotonic relationship between radon levels and wealth. There is a consistent indication that very poor people have lower radon levels than others, but this indication disappears rapidly for incomes above 15,000/yr and for houses valued above 40,000. The data on very poor people may be dominated by students and young people rather than by poor families. 

Illustratively, all fifty states currently have programs reimbursing poor people for the cost of surgery to implant Norplant. See, Roberts, Dorothy E. (1995). The Only Good Poor Woman Unconstitutional Conditions and Welfare. 72... 

It is helpful to see how the Optional Reward system relates to the patent system in the way that rewards are allocated. The patent system measures the value of an innovation by the amount of prohts the innovator is able to extract. Such a measure of value, taken directly from market observations, seems to suggest that the value of the lives of very poor people is extremely low. This conclusion follows directly from the fact that poor people spend very little money on health care. This thinking has led some to argue that the allocation of money toward different types of medicines is already efficient. This is a fallacy, since it depends on who is determining what is valuable. 

Would banning the cheap handguns called Saturday night specials reduce crime by drying up a source of starter guns for beginning criminals Or would it deprive poor people of the most effective means of self-defense they can afford ... 

We should separate equity issues from efficiency issues. Poor people do not buy certain items because they have insufficient income, not because markets fail. Rather than modifying markets to ameliorate equity concerns, informed policy analysts generally prefer a variety of redistributive policies. All of those policies use... 

The failure of poor people to purchase risk information or risk-reduction services is not evidence that information and risk-reduction markets do not work well. Poor people do not consume certain items because they do not have sufficient income, not because markets do not work well. Economically informed policy analysis argues that the state should not intervene in the interactions of particular markets to ameliorate equity concerns. If any redistribution occurs, it should be at the level of the economy as a whole and not in any particular market. 

Bennett (1994) argues that poor people are more subject to disease and more likely to live near electric-power eyesores, such as substations. Thus, we find a spurious relationship between proximity to electric-power facilities and cancer. 

Reinhardt, Erika. Access to Medicines. UN Chronicle 43, no. 3 (Septem-ber/November 2006) 56-57. The UN offers a way to increase access to desperately needed medications among poor people throughout the world. Countries can take advantage of flexibility built into international patent and trade agreements to buy high-priority medicines for HIV/ AIDS. However, the article criticizes national trademark laws than hinder these types of public health efforts in developing nations. 

An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association entitled The Cocaine Habit warns of growing abuse of the drug among poor people, especially blacks. A racist stereotype of cocaine-crazed Negroes begins to develop.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that about 10 million people are infected with Chagas in the Americas, 2 million of them in Brazil alone. More than 10,000 die each year as a result. Because Chagas disease affects mainly poor people in developing countries, diagnosis and treatment of this disease have not been well studied (WHO, 2009). 

Every research area could provide examples of the damage done by the blanket application of the proposition. Even where it seems most relevant, there are regrettable consequences. If a drug company has to fund even the most fundamental research that might lead to profit, it will only embark on the development phase where a return on the huge investment can be foreseen. Thus minority requirements are of no interest small markets (for example, minor crops, diseases that only affect a few people or only poor people), air or sea pollution where no owner can be identified, and research where there is no product or service to sell - all will be ignored.
