Hehe! I gave 5 stars to a textbook! This is actually a great guidebook on all things poverty. It's only flaw is the "charismatic megafauna" on the cover...crying black children and a homeless man that's probably not homeless.

In today modern world there are few country which are facing a lot of poverty in which people do not earn that much to buy a food and other thing.The most poorest country out of these is Africa.Most of the African people are doing pirates job because their country have not jobs for them.There are a lot of issue in Africa like education, health,water overall the country is facing a lot of crisis.After that the next country is Palestine due to the war the shortage of food have effect a lot of Palestine people.So the main aim of the book was about poverty which is a very dangerous issue what about your perception comment it.

A solid econ text, but a bit more simplistic than I could find useful.
