Opis

World Poverty provides a unique global perspective on the topic of poverty--from how to define, measure, and keep track of poverty to its causes and counterstrategies. Detailed case studies examine the situations in the United States, India, Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guatemala, and the Ukraine, and investigate the strategies that these national governments have adopted to fight poverty.
