Demonstrating how our traditional antipoverty tactics have both trampled the freedom of the world's poor and suppressed a vital debate about alternative approaches to solving poverty, Easterly presents a devastating critique of the blighted record of authoritarian development. In this masterful work, Easterly reveals the fundamental errors inherent in our traditional approach and offers new principles for Western agencies and developing countries alike: principles that, because they are predicated on respect for the rights of poor people, have the power to end global poverty once and for all.EconomiaPovertàUONC102193FIPovertàStudiUONC024800FIUSNew YorkUONL000050EasterlyWilliamUONV185209123572Basic BooksUONV251641650ITSOL20250711RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00523100SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI A 2.0 0205 SI 50922 5 0205 BuonoSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI2024212 1J 20240216Bolla n. 55 del 14.3.2024.
