Part 1 covers Extreme Poverty: The Cruelest Trap; Part 2: Escaping the Poverty Trap: How the Poor Are Gaining the Keys to Capability; Part 3: What You Can Do to Help; and Conclusion: Some Closing Words: The End of Global Poverty. Also includes Notes and References, Index, and About the Author. Over 800 million people suffer from chronic hunger, and over 10 million children die each year from preventable causes. These may seem like overwhelming statistics, but as Stephen Smith shows in this call to arms, global poverty is something that we can and should solve within our lifetimes. Ending Global Poverty explores the various traps that keep people mired in poverty--traps like poor nutrition, illiteracy, and lack of access to health care--and presents eight keys to escaping these traps. Smith gives readers the tools they need to determine which approaches are most effective in fighting, and eventually overcoming, poverty. This book shows that although the task is daunting, it isn't necessary to be rich or powerful to help pull people out of extreme poverty. This book is a vital resource for anyone who wants practical advice about how to make a difference now. More
