Poverty: A Very Short Introduction explores how poverty is shaped by social, political, economic, educational, and technological processes that impact us throughout our lives. The degree of vulnerability to adverse changes in life varies greatly depending on circumstances such as birthplace, education, access to clean water, and gender. This book examines the history of poverty, practical efforts to eradicate it, and prospects for further alleviation. The Very Short Introductions series offers pocket-sized books that combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting topics highly readable.
