Description:

This course introduces students to the key theoretical perspectives on development and some of the major themes of world poverty. Causes of poverty are explored in the context of the development models which nations have pursued in the last hundred or more years. An important aim here is to raise consciousness about the extent of poverty globally, including the United States of America. We examine ways of ameliorating the worst effects of poverty. Equally, this course explores principled and practical lifestyle alternatives for a just and equitable world economic order.
