Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Amusa Abdulateef wrote "There is high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections and strange diseases in the poverty stricken nations which is pushing down the number of productive persons anticipated for greater outputs. The single parenthood, from jilted lovers and extra marital affairs, is high just as divorce rates. Products of broken homes are social miscreants that can be recruited to join terrorists showing the evils of poverty in any nation. No nation in the world is totally free from the identified indicators of poverty even the rich nations. The degree of sub-Saharan African nations on poverty is appalling as most of them are categorized to be having extreme poverty simply because their citizens are surviving on less than two dollars per day that opens the way for gender-based violence, intimate domestic violence, human rights abuses, crimes and moral decadence. Studies show that there is a nexus between poverty and corruption including the tyranny of governments by the contents of the book. On the basis of the poverty level by the United Nations Development Programme multi-dimension poverty indices and the Human Development Index (HDI) from the world reports, there are several nations in the five inhabitable continents, particularly in Africa, that have insufficiency in the supplies of the basic needs like foods, water and housing not to talk of the social services like education, health and security. Overall, all nations could not be said to be free from the 100% level of literacy, zero unemployment, zero insecurity and some other signs of poverty. In all the world conferences and multilateral talks, the issue of ending the illiteracy, famine, insecurity and environmental crises leading to the negative effects of the climatic changes has become issues that are apparently defying practicable and lasting solutions". In this research based book, "FAREWELL TO POVERTY, THE WAYS OUT", the author is presenting this to the public as a useful, reliable and reference blueprint for whosoever wishes to be at the helms at all levels. Quoting the author from the book verbatim "citing the quotable quote of Chairman Mao Zedong of People's Republic of China "The world is ours, the nation is ours, the society is ours. If we do not speak, who will speak for us? If we do not act, who will act for us?". The scourge of rising poverty in the world is a source of concerned for all stakeholders. Therefore, writing about how the world can be out of the wood, in this case abject poverty, should not be over-emphasized. Several factors are used to espouse the causes of poverty in the nation, with the case of Nigeria used to teach the world what they should look for to have a concise understanding of the poverty stricken nations and citizens. In the book, it is manifested that the richly endowed nations have their own share of poverty that requires to be tackled before it spread.By the expository of the writer, poverty goes beyond insufficiency of food for the citizens in three square meals per day, the lack of adequate housing units for the people, the clothing of the people from being naked but quality standard of living in all facets. 'The food supplies in the market are not meeting the market aggregate demands and the laws of demand and supplies creep in to determine the prices resulting in inflation. With high cost of production, the prices shore up and the poverty level shall increase' he wrote. Therefore, nations in extreme poverty have acute shortage of food supplies leading to severe hunger, high rate of unemployment, incidence of epidemics and others resulting into crimes and social miscreants. Malnourished population is an unhealthy population that is closed to hunger-related sicknesses. Hungry people would never think of school enrolment of their children. It is book for the general public.

Download or read book A Farewell to Alms written by Gregory Clark and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-29 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations. Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, and economy of effort-and adopt economic habits-hard work, rationality, and education. The problem, Clark says, is that only societies that have long histories of settlement and security seem to develop the cultural characteristics and effective workforces that enable economic growth. For the many societies that have not enjoyed long periods of stability, industrialization has not been a blessing. Clark also dissects the notion, championed by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs, and Steel, that natural endowments such as geography account for differences in the wealth of nations. A brilliant and sobering challenge to the idea that poor societies can be economically developed through outside intervention, A Farewell to Alms may change the way global economic history is understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2017 PETER KATZENSTEIN BOOK PRIZE "BEST OF BOOKS IN 2017" BY FOREIGN AFFAIRS WINNER OF THE 2018 VIVIAN ZELIZER PRIZE BEST BOOK AWARD IN ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY "How China Escaped the Poverty Trap truly offers game-changing ideas for the analysis and implementation of socio-economic development and should have a major impact across many social sciences." ― Zelizer Best Book in Economic Sociology Prize Committee Acclaimed as "game changing" and "field shifting," How China Escaped the Poverty Trap advances a new paradigm in the political economy of development and sheds new light on China's rise. How can poor and weak societies escape poverty traps? Political economists have traditionally offered three answers: "stimulate growth first," "build good institutions first," or "some fortunate nations inherited good institutions that led to growth." Yuen Yuen Ang rejects all three schools of thought and their underlying assumptions: linear causation, a mechanistic worldview, and historical determinism. Instead, she launches a new paradigm grounded in complex adaptive systems, which embraces the reality of interdependence and humanity's capacity to innovate. Combining this original lens with more than 400 interviews with Chinese bureaucrats and entrepreneurs, Ang systematically reenacts the complex process that turned China from a communist backwater into a global juggernaut in just 35 years. Contrary to popular misconceptions, she shows that what drove China's great transformation was not centralized authoritarian control, but "directed improvisation"—top-down directions from Beijing paired with bottom-up improvisation among local officials. Her analysis reveals two broad lessons on development. First, transformative change requires an adaptive governing system that empowers ground-level actors to create new solutions for evolving problems. Second, the first step out of the poverty trap is to "use what you have"—harnessing existing resources to kick-start new markets, even if that means defying first-world norms. Bold and meticulously researched, How China Escaped the Poverty Trap opens up a whole new avenue of thinking for scholars, practitioners, and anyone seeking to build adaptive systems.

Download or read book Wealth Poverty and Politics written by Thomas Sowell and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Thomas Sowell, one of the foremost conservative public intellectuals in this country, argues that political and ideological struggles have led to dangerous confusion about income inequality in America. Pundits and politically motivated economists trumpet ambiguous statistics and sensational theories while ignoring the true determinant of income inequality: the production of wealth. We cannot properly understand inequality if we focus exclusively on the distribution of wealth and ignore wealth production factors such as geography, demography, and culture. Sowell contends that liberals have a particular interest in misreading the data and chastises them for using income inequality as an argument for the welfare state. Refuting Thomas Piketty, Paul Krugman, and others on the left, Sowell draws on accurate empirical data to show that the inequality is not nearly as extreme or sensational as we have been led to believe. Transcending partisanship through a careful examination of data, Wealth, Poverty, and Politics reveals the truth about the most explosive political issue of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no peace with hunger. Only promises and promises and no fulfillment. If there is no job, there is no peace. If there is nothing to cook in the pot, there is no peace. - Oscar, a 57-year-old man, El Gorri n, Colombia They want to construct their houses near the road, and they cannot do that if they do not have peace with their enemies. So peace and the road have developed a symbiotic relation. One cannot live without the other. . . . - A community leader from a conflict-affected community on the island of Mindanao, Philippines Most conflict studies focus on the national level, but this volume focuses on the community level. It explores how communities experience and recover from violent conflict, and the surprising opportunities that can emerge for poor people to move out of poverty in these harsh contexts. 'Rising from the Ashes of Conflict' reveals how poor people s mobility is shaped by local democracy, people s associations, aid strategies, and the local economic environment in over 100 communities in seven conflict-affected countries, including Afghanistan. The findings suggest the need to rethink postconflict development assistance. This is the fourth volume in a series derived from the Moving Out of Poverty study, which explores mobility from the perspectives of poor people in more than 500 communities across 15 countries.

Download or read book Bayou Farewell written by Mike Tidwell and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cajun coast of Louisiana is home to a way of life as unique, complex, and beautiful as the terrain itself. As award-winning travel writer Mike Tidwell journeys through the bayou, he introduces us to the food and the language, the shrimp fisherman, the Houma Indians, and the rich cultural history that makes it unlike any other place in the world. But seeing the skeletons of oak trees killed by the salinity of the groundwater, and whole cemeteries sinking into swampland and out of sight, Tidwell also explains why each introduction may be a farewell—as the storied Louisiana coast steadily erodes into the Gulf of Mexico. Part travelogue, part environmental exposé, Bayou Farewell is the richly evocative chronicle of the author's travels through a world that is vanishing before our eyes.
