      For the most part it hasn’t actually declined, but where it has can’t be fairly ascribed to that.

      I’m mostly going off the argument made here which seemed pretty convincing to me. The gist of it is that the statistics used to push the narrative of neoliberal effectiveness on poverty are presented in very misleading ways.
