Disruptive economy and poverty of knowledge: Sri Lankans have a lot to learn



A new definition of the poor

logoMonday, 16 July 2018 

The poor are usually defined as those who are below a given level of income that would be insufficient to meet their basic needs. In my view, the poor – no matter whether it is an individual, family or a nation – are those who are unable to read the oncoming information logically, assess the risks posed or opportunities offered to them and take measures to minimise risks or augment prospects. In this sense, we all are poor.
