[Question_Assumptions]

Iranian mythologist Jaber Anasori believes that since the time people became interested in gathering money and properties, poverty began to rise and this is still evident. Ahura Mazda also mentioned once that there would be poverty whenever there was drought and lying in a country, he added.

So this nut is claiming that poverty increased because some people actually stopped being poor? So when everyone was a savage living in the muck there was no poverty? This is a really stupid way of looking at wealth and poverty but what can one expect from an academic.
