Doesn't have to be all poverty, just most. A repressive regime that keeps its own citizens in poor conditions will not prevent this market from resolving to YES. (Unless most of the world has come under the influence of such a repressive regime.) Nor will a few people here and there who slipped through the cracks in an otherwise robust system.
To count as not being in poverty, people should be able to access a similar range of goods and services to those accessible by the global elite. (e.g. it's ok if not everyone can afford luxury goods, but they shouldn't have a vastly lower life expectancy or serious health issues that are curable for the rich.)
