Peasant Poverty and Persistence in the Twenty-First Century: Theories, Debates, Realities and Policies

Peasant Poverty and Persistence in the Twenty-first Century provides a much-needed critical perspective linking three central questions: Why has peasantry, unlike other areas of non-capitalist production, persisted? Why are the vast majority of peasants poor? And how are these two questions related?
