Review :
"A very useful review of the basic poverty and development issues which serve as a good introduction to the subject", Dr Anthony Hall, LSE 'The book will be of relevance to those in development studies, sociology, geography, social anthropology, economics and politics. It could be used effectively as a course textbook for undergraduates and, with some selection, as a source of readings and discussion pieces in connection with a higher-level option.' THES May 2000
