John Stackhouse's Hope For the Elimination of Poverty.
This paper discusses Out of This Poverty, a book by John Stackhouse which argues that the elimination of poverty is possible. The paper contends that Stackhouse makes a persuasive case, although many significant obstacles remain in order for poverty to be tackled in a real and profound way. The author's thesis is that there must be local and grassroots solutions to poverty. He is right, but the international trends go against this potential solution. 5 pgs. 5 f/c. 4b.
