Poverty eBooks

''Poverty is one of the most long-standing problems facing governments and populations throughout the world. No matter how it is measured - whether in prosperous times or during depressions, whether in agricultural, industrial, or post-industrial societies and despite anti-poverty programs and aid to the poor, poverty continues.
Poverty addresses this global issue in ten different countries (UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Malta, The Netherlands, The Philippines and Zimbabwe) with chapters which discuss:
the socio-economic and historical context within which poverty exists
the extent and nature of poverty
its causes
the measures that have been taken to mitigate it.
This book will be essential reading for students of social policy and administration as well as development studies and anthropology.
