IAM, "Born Under The Same Star"

In this song, French hip-hop artist "IAM" wonder why some people are cursed to a life of poverty in a supposedly rich country. GDP is not a perfect measure of welfare and happiness. It does not take into account the distribution of income and the fundamental inequalities which consign some people to a life of poverty and crime.
