It is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on bloomsburycollections.com. Despite greater efforts in reducing poverty since the early 1980s, poverty remains stubbornly high in many parts of the world. This collection argues that the mainstream perspectives on poverty and deprivation have contributed to considerable distortion and misunderstanding and that is not unrelated to ineffectual policy perscriptions. In particular it highlights the World Bank's dollar-a-day measure of poverty and exposes the inadequacies of Bretton Woods-inspired poverty reduction programmes. 2022-10-14T14:51:51Z 2022-10-14T14:51:51Z 2011 book ONIX_20221014_9781849664523_21 9781849664523 9781849664516 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58690 eng The United Nations Series on Development application/pdf n/a 9781849664516.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781849664530 10.5040/9781849664530 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781849664523 9781849664516 Bloomsbury Academic 240 London open access |
