Imagine living on the equivalent of fifty pence a day – or less. That is the reality for over a billion people around the world right now. And the ‘prison of poverty’ is not just about money: it is about facing daily hunger, disease and premature death. It is about not having clean water to give your children, about not being able to give them access to the education that will make their lives different from yours.  The eight Millennium Development Goals lay out a vision of halving extreme global poverty by 2015, providing a road map for tackling depravation, instability, HIV\/AIDS, gender inequality and violence in virtually all parts of the world. All 189 member states of the United Nations have pledged themselves to the realisation of this vision, and the goals are backed up by a practical and achievable plan. What is needed is the will to make it happen. But what can we really do to help? Isn’t the problem just too enormous for individual churches, schools and communities to make a difference?  What Can One Person Do? seeks to answer that question, offering practical suggestions for real things that we can do in our personal lives that can help to bring the vision of a world without poverty a step closer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49618667766033,"sku":"GOR004274384","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0232526559.jpg?v=1751132742"},{"product_id":"what-can-one-person-do-book-sabina-alkire-9780898694987","title":"What Can One Person Do?","description":"\u003cp\u003eAddresses the challenge of living in a world broken by intractable issues of poverty and injustice, and offers meditations followed by practical suggestions on how churches and individuals can actually make a difference. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat Can One Person Do?\u003c\/i\u003e confronts a poverty-stricken world, and with clarity of purpose offers practical steps to create lasting change.

Sabina Alkire shows how Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen's capability approach can be coherently---and practically---put to work in poverty reduction activities. Sen argues that economic development should expand 'valuable' freedoms. Alkire probes how we identify what is valuable. Foundational issues are addressed critically---dimensions of development, practical reason, culture, basic needs---drawing on Thomist authors who give central place to authentic participation. A participatory procedure for identifying capability change is then developed. Case studies of three Oxfam activities in Pakistan---goat-rearing, female literacy, and rose cultivation---illustrate this novel approach. Valuing Freedoms will be of considerable interest to economists, philosophers, development practitioners, and theologians, as well as to followers of Sen's work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52140870631697,"sku":"NLS9780199283316","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52630575317265,"sku":"GOR005587104","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199283316.jpg?v=1776940158"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sabina-alkire.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
