Poverty Capital

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the management of poverty rather than its victims, this book explores how powerful institutions manipulate capital and knowledge related to poverty. It critiques dominant practices and highlights alternative development paradigms, particularly through the lens of microfinance. Engaging in significant debates on market roles and effective pro-poor institutions, the work is grounded in extensive research across Washington D.C., Bangladesh, and the Middle East, as well as the author's educational experiences with students on global poverty and inequality.
