POVERTY AND DEMOCRACY
Poverty has many things to do with democracy. Democracy as a system of governance has direct bearing on poverty and on efforts for eradication of poverty. Some people advocate that for concentrated and time framed efforts to eradicate poverty a strong authoritarian system of governance is more suitable but such people forget the basics of autharitarianism in which the focus is the authoritarian and not the masses for whom benefits system is prepared. An authoritative govt never listens to anybody except a small bang of sycophants. As the system is not ready to listen, as the system is not open to dialogue any fault can't be brought into notice. One more important point is that opposite to democracy which nucleus is masses authoritarianism fosters the interests of individuals and it fears enlightened mass. So authitarisnism is no way an answer to poverty.
