图书简介
This Handbook examines poverty measurement, anti-poverty policy and programs, and poverty theory from the perspective of economics. It is written in a highly accessible style that encourages critical thinking about poverty. What’s known about the sources of poverty and its alleviation are summarized and conventional thinking about poverty is challenged.
