Wringing Success from Failure in Late-Developing Countries

Mehr zum Buch

Examining the persistent issue of poverty, Stepanek argues that it stems from human-made institutions influenced by flawed ideologies and ineffective policies. He emphasizes that alleviating poverty requires confronting its root causes rather than applying superficial solutions. By advocating for well-designed development strategies and foreign assistance programs, he highlights the need for Western governments and international agencies to reassess their approaches to aid. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of foreign aid, its historical context, and practical implications for effective poverty reduction.
