Manufacturing poverty? You mean like Smoot-Hawley which economists universally disagreed with? You mean like company towns where mine owners cut workers off from the macroeconomy? You mean like trickle down economics, which despite its name follows no modern principles of Econ, instead relating closest to 1840s British Whig-era policies responsible for the Irish famine?
Like Neokeynesian macroeconomics promotes intervention to offset recession and has been favoring consumer-sided aid instead to make a real impact instead of fixing it on paper by upping government spending. Econometrics is the reason you see “[insert thing] disproportionately affects [insert vulnerable group]” in any study of policy. Even public economics has been working to fix cyclical poverty with EITC
Like I’m an accountant lol you still need to manage funds or other efficiencies regardless of profits, another example supply chain majors reduce inefficiencies to maximize profits in a capitalist society but in a different structure they would be reducing labor inefficiencies to best give workers more freedoms lol
