Description

Should rich nations help the poor? This question is at the heart of a pressing global issue. Despite significant investment in foreign aid over the past decade, many people still struggle to meet their basic needs.

Leading poverty analyst David Hulme argues that helping the world's neediest communities is not only morally justifiable but also economically wise for rich nations. He proposes an alternative approach to conventional foreign aid, focusing on trade, finance and environmental policy reform. However, this requires a fundamental shift in international social norms to recognize the collective benefits of a poverty-free world.

This concise book explores the complex relationships between global development, economic policy and social change. Hulme's analysis offers valuable insights into how rich nations can make a positive impact while also securing their own citizens' future welfare.
