Abstract
This chapter discusses the nature of poverty in underdeveloped country. People are poor not just in the sense that they have no money in their pockets. They are poor because they do not have enough to eat because their health is bad through inadequate diet or inadequate shelter or sanitation. Consequently, their whole life is taken up with a struggle to gain from the land subsistence for themselves and their families. As their health is bad, they are not efficient as farmers and peasants and so their efforts to grow more food are unsuccessful. As they are hungry and ill and absorbed with the daily struggle for food, they cannot build schools or factories or hospitals.
