@ipd yes, it started in an inner-city slum just a few blocks from the royal palaces – like the sharp rich:poor juxtapositions that can be found in the US today and even in New Zealand (I've lived on rich:poor fringe streets in both places). The story is that Don Bosco got sewing machines, gave them to unemployed young men, and taught them to sew for a living.
I think of it as building an economy from the ground up versus the top-down "stimulus" that "leaders" like to posture about today.
