Eg. Economist can look at the advantages of free trade. Possibly, if each country produced where they have their relative advantage and then traded with the other countries each producing in their area of relative advantage. There would be all around more to share. Etc etc.

Poverty isn't the only cause of homelessness. There are people who have money, who could even probably afford to buy a house, but because of mental conditions are unable to cope with "normal" life and end up homeless as a result. My friend Skip/Kenny was one of those. He wasn't wealthy, but his parents were both professionals as I understand it, and could afford to help him. He was mentally incapable of accepting the help longer than a few days every few months.
