Reframing Poverty: New Thinking and Feeling About Humanity’s Greatest Challenge
$7.95
Poverty is humanity’s most persistent social ill. Despite having the same four conversations about the causes of poverty over and over again, we’re no closer to addressing, or by any means “eradicating,” poverty. In fact, we continue to discuss poverty as an objective matter to the degree that we have neglected to examine and acknowledge the role of emotions in our discourse about and definition of poverty. Eric Meade takes readers through an examination of our beliefs around poverty, where they do and don’t hold up, and how we can begin to think differently. Offering a deeply complex and compassionate view of poverty, Meade interrogates what’s keeping us from truly making a difference.
- Discover the relationship between what we how about poverty and what we think and do about it.
- Explore how humans have explained poverty in the past, and what is valid in each perspective.
- Learn a way of thinking about poverty that allows seemingly opposed explanations to be true at the same time.
- Become a more potent change leader by recognizing how your feelings about poverty shape your responses to it.
