Furthermore, on Hegel’s account the poor individual is like a “barbarian” in that she fails to experience what he calls “the moment of liberation which is present in work” (§194R), and which distinguishes the barbarian from the “educated man” (§197 and R).

We can see, then, that Hegel’s account of the relationship between personality and property grounds a damning account of what he calls the “evil” of poverty (§245). On the Kantian account, poverty is problematic for the individual member of the modern state because it places her in a wrongful relation of dependence on the choice of other persons. But Hegel’s poor cannot even stand on their rights as persons, because poverty consists in their inability to realize their personality in the first place.
