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."--Bloomsbury Publishing.United Nations series on development.PovertyMeasurementPovertyResearchPovertyGovernment policyEconomic policySocial policyPovertyMeasurement.PovertyResearch.PovertyGovernment policy.Economic policy.Social policy.Jomo K.
