ABSTRACT
The previous chapter looked at the economic and financial models that emerged from the African soil and redefined poverty in new lights that are more integrally realistic rather than following the purely empirical norm. The issues of poverty and unemployment are as old as man himself, and may be viewed within the context of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. They found themselves in a strange environment where they needed to work hard for food. They were indeed faced with hardship as their family size started to multiply, thus more work had to be created so that the family could have enough to eat. This small family grew into a village, and into several settlements across the Earth. Known resources may have been limited from village to village, which must have led to the need to create rules that would guide resource management under a morally structured approach.
