Yes, exactly. This is one of the points of the article -- it isn't interesting to ask "Why is there poverty?" A more interesting question would be like "How does _anyone_ escape poverty?"
The first step in escaping poverty is to abandon the attitude that social equity and wealth equality are wholesome ideas. If you fail to do this, then you have no need of escaping poverty, because everyone has the same amount of wealth and it's all perfectly equitable.
That doesn't track at all, as it completely ignores the fact people can work together to raise their wealth.
But why raise it when everyone has the same amount of wealth (zero)? You've achieved everything you ever set out to achieve.
