I guess one would have to know how global poverty is determined/measured. Forget about China’s urbanization, how about Asia or Africa or SE Asia? What are the sources of whomever tries tø measure it? <br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class="">My understanding of global poverty, based on the important work of Jason Hickel, is that any meaningful decrease in global poverty is attributable solely to the urbanization of China. This is an old article, but this analysis has been
recently incorporated into a book:

<div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space" class="">Not quite a coherent story from David Harvey, although absorbing to listen to him. I suppose one should purhase his book to see if he fills in the holes of his verbal statements here. E.g.,
