Bush, Ray

Poverty and neoliberalism: persistence and reproduction in the global south / Ray Bush - London : Pluto Press, 2007 - xvii, 237p, 20cm.

This book examines the ways in which poverty in the Global South is created and reproduced. More than a billion people, one in five, live on less than US$l a day. Poverty is often linked by policy makers to the poor lacking access to the world's resources, land, minerals and food. In contrast this book examines the difficulties the poor have in controlling resources and in shaping their use to the promotion of greater equity and social justice
