Designed for students who are interested in the challenge posed by
massive and persistent world poverty. Examines extreme poverty over
time to see if it is no longer a threat, why some countries grow fast
and others fall further behind, if growth or foreign aid help the
poor, what we can do about corruption, if markets or NGOs should be
left to deal with poverty, where to intervene, and how to deal with
the disease burden and improve schools.<br>
