Why does absolute poverty persist despite substantial economic growth? What types of late economic development or 'catch-up' capitalism are associated with different poverty outcomes?\u003cem\u003e Global Poverty\u003c\/em\u003e addresses these apparently simple questions and the extent to which\u003cbr\u003ethe answers may be shifting. One might expect global poverty to be focused in the world's poorest countries, usually defined as low-income countries, or least developed countries, or 'fragile states'. However, most of the world's absolute poor by monetary or multi-dimensional poverty - up to a\u003cbr\u003ebillion people - live in growing and largely stable middle-income countries. At the same time, poverty has not fallen as much as the substantial economic growth would warrant. As a consequence, and as domestic resources have grown, much of global poverty has become less about a lack of domestic\u003cbr\u003eresources and more about questions of national inequality, social policy and welfare regimes, and patterns of economic development pursued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46494677729431,"sku":"9780198703525","price":5933.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198703525.webp?v=1769174895","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/global-poverty-deprivation-distribution-and-development-since-the-cold-war-9780198703525","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
