This seems so obvious and rude, frankly, but I don’t understand how I am able to sit in my apartment with my own food to make and job to go to when some men, women, and children are living in extreme poverty with no clean drinking water. How did this start and how did it continue to cycle to where we are now?

A lot of good explanations here. I’d like to add that the book [*Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies*](https://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393354326/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Guns%2C+Germs%2C+and+Steel&qid=1569179710&s=books&sr=1-1) addresses this question very well, too. (With the caveat that some people have issues with the author’s conclusions or methods, but I think it’s a good book.)
