Abstract:
"Alleviating Poverty through Business Strategy begins with an overview of the current global economic landscape and a criticism of the failed strategies for poverty alleviation over the last fifty years. The way in which the for-profit model can be harnessed to provide the poor with a share in the world's prosperity is then discussed and shown through actual experiences and cases, and nested in theories of business, the social sciences, and philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
