Recensione:
In telling us what can be achieved by ordinary people through organised action, this book generates hope even as it enhances understanding of what is involved in the removal of poverty --Amartya Sen
A tour de force... At once shocking, realistic and radical, this book takes us further on the road to understanding the challenges of development and what needs to be done... It should inform and inspire all who are committed to policy and practice for a better world. --Robert Chambers
From Poverty to Power is an illuminating survey of global poverty today. As Green says, the old ways of low intensity democracy, trickle down economics, dirty growth, and inept global government have been found wanting. This book is a very useful contribution to the quest for the new tools and concepts we will need to navigate the 21st century --Bob Geldof
