The poverty is an inescapable condition in a society ruled by capital, being the weakest link in the relationship with wealth, its dialectical pair. In addition to its production, centered on the structure of society (in a Marxian approach), and its representation in the objective living conditions of the majority of the world population, poverty is the target of political efforts to alleviate it, as well as theorizations bourgeois about their origin and validity, all detached from social reality. This article aims to analyze the World Bank's conception of poverty over the decades, considering its centralizing and radiating role of measures to confront it in developing countries, highlighting its strong political presence in these locations. We made use of a literature review on the relevant topic and also of documentary research, having as main source the World Bank Reports, the study evidenced the neoliberal influence in the referred institution and, therefore, its importance and functionality on the topic for the bourgeois order.
