King Louie XVI and Tsar Nicholas II ignored the plight of the masses because everyone in their courts was doing just fine. And we all know how that worked out for them.

Why didnt they just pick themselves up by their bootstraps?

Sebastián Piñera between March 1979 and September 1980 was the general manager of the Bank of Talca. In those years the "paper companies" that could fit the current denomination of "ideologically false" were discovered. A business model that seems to remain so current and appropriate to the times.

There are reasons and there are reasons why someone is poor. More often than not, the reasons are: lazyness, fear, lack of ambition, wrong life choices. Only in minute cases, this reason is mental or physical dissability, which is another topic all together.
