      I’ve actually randomly stumbled upon a gringophile Brazilian article from 2014 that actually no joke said “it is good for the poor people that there exists poverty” because some Harvard professor wrote a book about it from his solid gold desk, and sadly the both authors are still alive. Here it is in a rough machine translation to English, if you wanna feel angry in Portuguese.
