Economics vs Poverty

So, the Nobel Prize committee is at it again. This time, they awarded the Economics Prize to three men who teach somewhere - it really doesn't matter. Economics has never actually been a science but there you have it. I submit to my six readers that one of the most pressing needs of our time is to solve the riddle of poverty. Yet, among the dozens of economics gurus who have received the famous Nobel Prize, none has had a fix on the problem, much less a solution. Is that not ironic? They know as much about poverty as this topless woman.
