KR (ji) -
Thanks for brining up a very nice question for discussion.
You may rephrase your question to 'Is Poverty artificially sustained?' without actually changing the intent of the question!!
Whenever wealth is discussed - the first name for many that come to mind is Bill (William) Gates.
People seldom get associated with poverty - The friendly neighborhood beggar today earns more than many albeit by begging - that happens to be his / her profession (By choice or by force is a completely different point for argument)
Poverty (IMHO) is a relative term - I am poorer than you, if you are worth 10 crores & I happen to have just 1 crore as assets!
Dr. Kalam is respected as an individual with a 'wealthy' mind and many would pale in comparison in front of his thought intellect - hence we could be 'morally depraved' in comparison or 'poorer' in intellect...
Again (IMHO) we are comparing two diverse issues...
Another example of wealth gone to waste can be cited from my experience is that of the Owners of Saravana Bhavan

I am aware of their humble beginnings as in the late seventies they were our tenants in KK Nagar with their only branch! Rest is history!
Back on the question there is a wealth of knowledge being exchanged..... Very Interesting and would throw in my two cents worth as I am able to unearth them!!
Cheers!
