In his new book From Poverty to Power, Oxfam GB’s Duncan Green argues that there is now an added urgency beyond the moral case for tackling poverty and inequality: the need to build a secure, fair, and sustainable world before climate change makes it impossible. Leaders, organizations, and individuals need to act together, while there is still time. In what promises to be a lively, thoughtful discussion, Green will offer his unique insights into the human and economic costs of inequality and poverty, while also proposing realistic solutions to break the cycle of poverty and inequality and to give poor people power over their own destinies.
