What forms of poverty are there?

What is John F Kennedy indirectly referring to in this excerpt from his inaugural address when he says For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms?

• Answer:

  Nuclear weapons as concerns abolishing all forms of human life, and so (it would seem) the promise of the benefits of virtually limitless nuclear power is intended concerning abolishing all form of human poverty. Out of fear, mankind has done neither of those.
