- Summary
- People: From Impoverishment to Empowerment examines the large, unfinished agenda of human deprivation at the turn of the century. Social problems are rampant in almost every country. Global poverty is worsening, employment is on the rise, and social disintegration is becoming an ill that plagues us all. This remarkable book assembles the thinking of more than 50 distinguished national and international policymakers, practitioners, academics, leaders of public and private enterprises, and the media. It deals with the important question of how to empower people in order to foster an environment of peace, prosperity, and social harmony.
