Customer Reviews

Poignant look at the economics of poverty

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I felt the authors bring up salient issues about the world's economic realities and offers some concrete suggestions on beginning to tackle issues of extreme poverty. I did not necessarily agree with each and every method proposed, however the book was well written and thought provoking and inspired a spirited discussion amongst peers!

Thorough and a good read

A great book; very thorough and an easy and enjoyable read. Covers everything the first time student of poverty/discrimination needs to know.

Getting Knowlegde
