Can poverty cause poverty?

Answer:
Purely in Economic context, yes, poverty can set off a vicious circle, culminating in even more poverty. It goes something like this :
Poverty > Less Income > Less Consumption > Low Consumption Expenditure > Low Revenue for firms > Lesser Production > Lesser Income for Factor Inputs > Poverty

Therefore, this vicious circle will keep on incrementing. This can be prevented by suitable injections of capital investment by governments to increase availability of credit in the economy.
