| Abstract | "The Poverty of the World explores the origins of a conception of "global poverty" in 20th century American thought, politics, and culture. Following a group of American intellectuals, policymakers, and activists-John Collier, Oscar Lewis, John Kenneth Galbraith, Michael Harrington, and Sargent and Eunice Shriver, among others-who came into contact with mass poverty because of the profound reshuffling of the international system after 1945, this book argues that these liberals worked to advance a vision of American power in the world that put poverty-fighting at its center"-- Provided by publisher. |
