New thinking about poverty is finally hereIn this important book, one of our boldest and most original thinkers charges that conventional explanations of poverty are mistaken, and that the antipoverty policies built upon them are doomed to fail. Using science, history, fables, philosophical analysis, and common observation, Charles Karelis engages us and takes us to a deeper grasp of the link between consumption and satisfactionand from there to a new and persuasive explanation of what keeps poor people poor. Above all, he shows how this fresh perspective can reinspire the longstalled campaign against poverty.
