{"product_id":"should-rich-nations-help-the-david-hulme-9780745686066","title":"Should Rich Nations Help the Poor?","description":"In the past decade, the developed world has spent almost US$ 2 trillion on foreign aid for poorer countries. Yet 1.2 billion people still live in extreme poverty and around 2.9 billion cannot meet their basic human needs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut should rich nations continue to help the poor? In this short book, leading global poverty analyst David Hulme explains why helping the world's neediest communities is both the right thing to do and the wise thing to do   if rich nations want to take care of their own citizens' future welfare. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe real question is how best to provide this help. The way forward, Hulme argues, is not conventional foreign aid but trade, finance and environmental policy reform. But this must happen alongside a change in international social norms so that we all recognise the collective benefits of a poverty-free world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hulme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745686060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745686066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2016","brand":"David Hulme","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059621916927,"sku":"9780745686066","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15cb8ef4-77f9-488b-ae66-f1287d8534a2.jpg?v=1685059339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/should-rich-nations-help-the-david-hulme-9780745686066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
