The Challenge of World Poverty chronicles the systemic forces that entrench inequality — from land reform and education deficits to trade imbalances and institutional corruption — constructing a rigorous, evidence-based case for a coordinated global anti-poverty programme. Written with the moral urgency of a public intellectual at the height of his powers, Myrdal instructs policymakers and citizens alike that economic development cannot be divorced from social justice.\n\nDrawing on his landmark research in Asian Drama, Myrdal illustrates how underdevelopment is a self-reinforcing cycle that demands radical, structural intervention rather than piecemeal charity. His prose is authoritative yet accessible, blending economic theory with a humanist conviction that makes this work as much a moral manifesto as an academic treatise. Decades after its first publication, its central questions — Who bears responsibility for global poverty? What will it truly cost to end it? — remain as urgent and unanswered as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216201195739,"sku":"2026200014464-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a83b5c37-afd4-4496-be2f-13f868592683.png?v=1788405222","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014464-secondhand-the-challenge-of-world-poverty-a-world-anti-poverty-programme-in-outline","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
