Assembling multi-disciplinary and international contributions, \u003cem\u003eGlobal Poverty\u003c\/em\u003e shows that a causal understanding of poverty in rich and poor countries is essential for relieving its ravages. Contributors to this volume argue that our understanding must be based on a critical interrogation of the wider social relations which set up the mechanisms producing poverty as an outcome. Processes that widen\/strengthen crisis-ridden market relations, that increase income\/wealth inequality, and that 'enhance' the policy-biases of nation-states and international institutions toward the affluent-propertied strata cause global poverty and undermine poor people's political power. The processes concentrating wealth-creation are the same processes causing poverty. Through theoretical and empirical analyses this volume offers important insights and political prescriptions to address global poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors are: Raju J.
