Yang believes that alleviating poverty not only helps the victims of poverty and those who might one day sink into it, but that economic security also makes people smarter.

In fact, a 2013 Harvard study tested how two groups of people, shoppers in a New Jersey mall and farmers from Tamil Nadu, India, performed on IQ tests. The study concluded that the mental energy devoted to dealing with income inequality reduces how well people perform on cognitive tests. The same people taking the same test in more prosperous times, such as the farmers after harvest, performed better on tests of mental functioning.
