    Oour western economic system is too geared to self satisfaction, consuming more and more and not being sensitive enough to others needs!

      I guess it is a casual prediction. Maybe too hard to put down a criteria. I suppose, If most people in the world are more well off, it gets better, otherwise, it gets worse.

    How is poverty defined nowadays? Not enough food to eat? No Wii to play?

    Because of the high demand for food from fast developing country (like China), and the lack of efficiency of food transportation, many people will starve to death. And the wealth disparity problem hasn't been improved.
