True of false

The more poor a society becomes the more virtuous it becomes.

Neither true nor false until you specify empirical criteria with which to measure how "poor" and how "virtuous" a society is.

False. I have known both rich and poor societies and neither is particularly virtuous.

How do you measure virtue?

Does virtue even exist?

If no one has money to buy oil or consume other fossil fuels then of course the society is more virtuous. If they have to eat locally grown food and are at one with nature, then of course they are more virtuous.

What a question.
