Poverty A Philosophical Approach

"In Poverty: A Philosophical Approach, the author studies various philosophical issues concerning poverty in the Program for Education, Health and Food (PROGRESA) that was in effect in Mexico, from 1997 to 2002, and shows how theoretical discussion is necessary to clarify some ideas concerning the application of a social policy." "The book considers social policies applied to poverty, and their occasional abuse of utilitarian instruments. Many are implemented without considering cultural differences, including varying patterns of conduct in diverse communities."--BOOK JACKET.Dieterlen, Paulette is the author of 'Poverty A Philosophical Approach', published 2005 under ISBN 9789042019751 and ISBN 9042019751.
