Global Poverty by David Hulme
Around 1.4 billion people presently live in extreme poverty, and yet despite this vast scale, the issue of global poverty had a relatively low international profile until the end of the 20th century. This work tackles the issue of global poverty through the lens of global institutions."Global poverty is. .recommended for anyone seeking to gain quickly a better understanding of global poverty—or for any teacher looking for an excellent text on the subject. It is a direct, no-nonsense, multi-disciplinary examination of the nature of poverty, with its subtitular focus on the gross failures of global governance to address the problem." - Joel Campbell, International Affairs, Vol. 87, 6, November 2011
"The book reads like a crime novel and, like any good crime writer, Hulme does not paint the protagonist(s) as `evil’ but with nuances that are never oversimplistic." - Jaqui Goldin, `Book Reviews’, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development, 13:1, 153-163 (2012)
"[Global Poverty] has certainly helped identify the entanglements and intricacies of a global poverty landscape through a careful dissection of its institutional intrigues." - Jaqui Goldin, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, Vol. 13, 1, February 2012
