THE
ROOT CAUSE OF POVERTY IN NICARAGUA (AND THE WORLD) ... Nicaragua is a naturally rich country suffering from an artificially induced poverty. She is rich in arable land and various material resources and is optimally located for international commerce with access to two oceans. She has giant lakes and exotic lagoons, dense timberlands, productive gold mines, fertile agricultural resources, and young, vigorous and capable human resources. Nicaragua has a growing internal market for products and services with a growing population willing and able to work to satisfy that demand and also produce for exportation. The HGIEC believes that the extreme and chronic poverty experienced by the majority of Nicaraguans is caused by a fundamental structural error of her macro-economic system which, since the time of the Spanish Conquest, has institutionalized the unjust and unproductive appropriation of the national wealth by a private land and resource-owning minority (both national and foreign) at the expense of the productive majority. This systemic error is based upon the mistaken notion of considering all forms of Land (including natural resources and necessary public service monopolies) and their associated "land rent" values as private property, while real private property, the wealth that is produced by labor and productive capital, is arbitrarily confiscated for public funding. This unjust system of private property of Land foments widespread speculation in land values which leaves the working majority without affordable access to, or economic participation in, the progressive values of their own sovereign resources and territory; at the same time they must shoulder the major part of the burden of public funding. This is the fundamental cause of unjust distribution of the wealth which in turn causes unemployment and poverty, low wages, high business/government costs, rising consumer prices, inefficient use of land and wasteful destruction of natural resources, social division and political corruption, social injustice, violence, and crime in Nicaragua. These unjust and anti-progresive conditions exist and grow in all developed and developing countries to the degree the land and natural resource values are treated as exclusive private property and monopolized. ...

LA CAUSA FUNDAMENTAL DE LA POBREZA EN
NICARAGUA (Y EL MUNDO)... El CEIHG cree que la pobreza extrema y crónica sufrida por la mayoría de los nicaragüenses tiene su causa en un error fundamental del sistema macro-económico nacional lo cual institucionaliza e impulsa la apropiación injusta y antiproductiva de la riqueza nacional por una minoría de dueños privados (nacional y extranjero) de la tierra y los recursos naturales a costa de la mayoría de los trabajadores e inversionistas productivos. Este error sistémico tiene su base en el concepto equivocado de que la Tierra (que incluye todo recurso natural y monopolio público) y sus valores asociados de "renta" pueden ser considerados como propiedad privada mientras la propiedad privada verdadera (los frutos del trabajo y de la inversión del capital) son confiscados para los fondos públicos. Este sistema injusto de la propiedad privada de la Tierra fomenta la extendida especulación en los valores de tierra, la cual deja a la mayoría de los productores sin acceso a, o participación en, los crecientes valores de su propio patrimonio de recursos y territorio. Esta es la causa fundamental del injusto distribuión de la riqueza que a su turno causa el desempleo y la pobreza, los bajos salarios, los altos costos de negocios y del gobierno; el aumento de los precios al consumidor; el uso ineficiente de la tierra y la destrucción derrochadora de los recursos naturales; la división social y la corrupción política; la injusticia social, la violencia y la delincuencia en general. Estas condiciones injustos y antiprogresivos existen y se aumentan en todos los países desarrollados y subdesarrollados en la medida que los valores de la tierra y los recursos naturales son tratados como propiedad privada exclusiva y monopolizados. ...
