The Other Side of Globalization is Poverty

Humanity is living in an extraordinarily polarized time between tremendous wealth and terrible poverty. Striking scenes of hunger and poverty are encountered not only in "underdeveloped" countries, where poverty is gradually deepening and becoming more massive, but also in developed countries. On the other hand, the issue of poverty was met with indifference for a long time, under the pressure of the neoliberal globalization discourse. However, in recent years, it has come under the interest of international financial institutions and even capital. Discussions about defining poverty, determining its scales and concrete forms/structures, determining its causes and defining ways to combat it constitute an important platform of struggle in academic and political terms. Fikret Senses' meticulous analysis clarifies the definitions, concepts and scales of poverty. It does this by questioning valid recipes and scales.
