The Skeptic's Guide to Global Poverty: Tough Questions, Direct Answers by Dale Hanson Bourke
Why are so many people still poor, and what - if anything - can be done to help them? The Skeptic's Guide to Global Poverty provides answers to the challenging questions many people have about the poor. Ranging from how poor people feel to ways governments keep their people poor, the book discusses various aspects of poverty and its affects. It also considers various approaches to solving issues relating to poverty, including child labor, malnutrition, sex trafficking, refugees, and national debt. The book looks at institutions such as the World Bank and USAID and explains what they do, how they do it, and why some people criticize them. It redefines current events such as the minimum wage, immigration issues, health insurance, and debt forgiveness. It helps explain many of the issues humanitarian organizations are seeking to address, such as infant mortality, food security, and child development, and will be a useful tool for donor education.
Bourke challenges women to respond to God's call specifically for the second half of their lives, and offers practical ideas for finding new meaning. Her vulnerability and story-driven approach offer essential principles and specific suggestions for women searching for God's purpose and passion in middle age. Dale has also served on the board of directors for World Vision US and World Vision International, and currently serves on the board of International Justice Mission and Opportunity International. She is the founder of the AIDS Orphan Bracelet Project. Dale lives with her husband and two sons near Washington, D.C.
