Out of Poverty: What Works When Traditional Approaches Fail

by Paul Polak

Book Overview

An "exciting" new approach to lifting people out of poverty that rejects the ineffective top-down mindset (Steve Wozniak, confounder of Apple Computer).

Based on his twenty-five years of experience, Paul Polak explodes what he calls the "Three Great Poverty Eradication Myths" that we can donate people out of poverty; that national economic growth will end poverty; and that big business, operating as it does now, will end poverty.
