Poverty: Causes and Solutions

Poverty: Causes and Solutions by Abbas Alaghebandian explores the roots of poverty–economic, social, political, and environmental–and presents strategies for overcoming it. Drawing on insights from global thinkers like Jeffrey Sachs, Amartya Sen, and Joseph Stiglitz, the book emphasizes the role of ethics, governance, and equal opportunity in breaking cycles of poverty. Unique to this work is its focus on "water poverty" and environmental justice as critical dimensions of sustainable development. Combining historical lessons, policy critiques, and practical solutions, Alaghebandian offers a comprehensive roadmap for addressing one of humanity's most persistent challenges.
