The Economics of Poverty : History, Measurement, and Policy

 

儘管不可否認的是，在過去的200年中，世界在絕對貧困方面取得了巨大進展，但直到最近，這一進展的大部分僅在富裕國家取得。 實際上，與富裕國家在100年或更長時間的經濟發展期間看到的相比，極端貧困方面取得的進展速度更快。

 

不斷上升的不平等阻礙了許多國家消除貧困的進展。近幾十年來，整個富裕國家的貧困狀況普遍上升。即使在發展中國家，接觸最窮人方面進展也較小，新興中產階級中的許多人仍然很容易陷入貧困。

貧窮經濟學努力制定有效的政策，以確保在所有方面減少貧困繼續取得成功。這本書批判性地回顧了過去和現在關於各地經濟發展中央政策問題的辯論。那裡有多少貧窮？為什麼貧困存在？可以做些什麼來消除貧困？ Martin Ravallion提供了關於這些問題的最新綜合信息。

那些剛剛接觸經濟學的人在理解其概念和方法的過程中得到了很多幫助。經濟生活雖然與現實世界問題相關，但在這裡，全球貧困問題既是中心焦點，也是學習的載體。

While there is no denying that the world has made huge progress against absolute poverty over the last 200 years, until recent times the bulk of that progress had been made in wealthy countries only. The good news is that we have seen greater progress against poverty in the developing world in recent times-indeed, a faster pace of progress against extreme poverty than the rich world saw over a period of 100 years or more of economic development. However, continuing progress is far from assured.

H

High and rising inequality has stalled progress against poverty in many countries. We are seeing generally rising relative poverty in the rich world as a whole over recent decades. And even in the developing world, there has been less progress in reaching the poorest, who risk being left behind, and a great many people in the emerging middle class remain highly vulnerable to falling back into poverty.
 
The Economics of Poverty strives to support well-informed efforts to put in place effective policies to assure continuing success in reducing poverty in all its dimensions. The book reviews critically the past and present debates on the central policy issues of economic development everywhere. How much poverty is there? Why does poverty exist? What can be done to eliminate poverty? Martin Ravallion provides an accessible new synthesis of current knowledge on these issues.
 
It does not assume that readers know economics already. Those new to economics get a lot of help along the way in understanding its concepts and methods. Economics lives though its relevance to real world problems, and here the problem of global poverty is both the central focus and a vehicle for learning.
