Abstract
There are two views on how poverty in Southern countries can be decreased. The traditional view argues that rich Northern countries should consume more in order to provide markets to support Southern growth. The alternative view argues that Northern countries should stabilize their resource consumption. This article discusses these two views and provides ten reasons why income growth in the North is not a solution to poverty in the South. It then makes recommendations on how the North can help the South.
