Sceptic's Guide To Global Poverty

A simple and approachable guide to understanding the causes, consequences, and possible cures of poverty.

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 an answer to this challenging question among others. Ranging from how poor people feel to ways governments keep people poor, the book discusses various aspects of poverty and its effects. It also considers various approaches to solving it, including child labour, malnutrition, trafficking and refugees.

It redefines issues such as the minimum wage, immigration and debt forgiveness. It helps explain many of the areas humanitarian organisations work in, such as infant mortality and food security and will be a
useful tool for donor education.
