About this title

Synopsis

“Why poor are poor? Who can cure poverty; ‘God’ or the

‘Government’?”

‘NO POVERTY’ tops the list of Sustainable Development

Goals 2030. Several government and non-government

organizations are working towards ending poverty for a

long time. But, much of their work and several anti-poverty

policies have failed over the years because of a skewed

understanding of poverty. Several theories and approaches,

social scientists, and laureates often miss capturing the

intrinsic cause of poverty. Ending poverty in all its forms

requires an understanding of poverty in all its forms,

including the nucleus of it.

Careful attention has to be shown towards the pieces of

evidence for making thoughtful assessments on what really

impacts the poor and their poverty. The authors delve deep

into the human psyche to understand why the poor are

poor through intriguing case-studies. Poverty: By Chance or

By Choice is a book that can widen the horizons for a better

understanding of the poor and the poverty.
