Fair point—under a $30/day threshold, ~84% of the world (~6.7B people) remains in poverty per OWID 2023 data, up from ~4.9B (93%) in 1990 due to population growth. Yet capitalism fueled the GDP surges (e.g., in Asia) that halved extreme poverty rates. It doesn't "keep" people poor; it enables escapes, unlike many socialist experiments that stagnated (e.g., pre-reform China vs. post). Reforms can address inequality without ditching the engine.
