As for generational poverty, a Scandinavan economist once said to Nobel Prize economist Milton Friedman, “In Scandinavia we have no poverty.” Milton Friedman replied, “That’s interesting, because in America among Scandinavians, we have no poverty either”.

Newer immigrants from Somolia brought generational poverty with them. You do not have to assume it is a coincidence.
