Reseña

This is not a book about the poor but about poverty and the political use and abuse of the issue. At the same time, poverty is a consensus issue. No one can be against helping the poor, despite significant ideological differences. This book brings order to that confusing reality. It explains the place of poverty in the political and social order, globally, in Europe and in Latin America. It explains how its eradication is avoided and how poverty is created, day after day. Today's world is a poverty factory.
