Out of Poverty by Paul Polak


Out of Poverty: What Works When Traditional Approaches Fail (BK Currents (Paperback))

I recently read a book called Out of Poverty by Paul Polak. This book was not only very informative, but it is the most intriguing new book I have read since I read measure twice, cut once by Norm Abram during high school. For approximately 30 years Paul Polak has spent his life on the problem of poverty alleviation. In the 1980's, he established a non-profit organization called IDE which has help approximately 19 million people throughout the world out of poverty. The book is filled with the things he has learned over the past three decades from small acreage farmers living in poverty all over the world. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
