Ending poverty1999

"This book analyses the economic forces that account for poverty and the social and political issues that result in the world's gross imbalance of wealth. The distinguished economist Robin Marris argues that we can and must end poverty by the middle of the twenty-first century." "With the combination of development aid and rapid industrial growth in the Third World, and intelligent management of the First World economy, the unacceptable gulf between rich and poor can be elimated. Taking into account population growth and environmental questions, Professor Marris presents a clear plan of action."--BOOK JACKET.
