Book Launch: From Poverty to Power: How Active Citizens and Effective States can Change the World
Most of us feel overwhelmed when we contemplate the number of people across the globe suffering the brunt of poverty. Join editor Mark Fried at the launch of Oxfam’s new book, From Poverty to Power, for a discussion on how ordinary people through organized action can help eliminate poverty, and its related challenges of inequality and environmental collapse.
From Poverty to Power, published by Oxfam International (2008), contributes to an urgent and fast-changing debate about development. Its analysis draws on the experience of Oxfam and the organizations it supports in more than 100 countries around the world, recent literature, and extensive discussions with numerous development professionals.
