Reframing Poverty: New Thinking and Feeling about Humanity's Greatest Challenge

Written by Eric Meade

Narrated by Bob Brill

We typically view poverty as a technical problem we can solve with more money, more technology, and more volunteers. But there is an adaptive side to the problem of poverty as well. Reframing Poverty directs our attention to the emotional and often unconscious mindsets we bring to this issue. Meade's approach is as unique as it is challenging. Rather than trite tips or tricks, he offers a series of nested insights from diverse fields like political science, physics, complexity theory, and psychology. Most importantly, he provides a path of self-exploration for those eager to become the kind of people who can successfully navigate the tensions of a world in need.

"A provocative book that upends conventional thinking and forces the reader to think deeply about what poverty is." (ERIC NEE, Editor-in-Chief, Stanford Social Innovation Review)

A lot of blaming the poor for their poverty without a serious look into the lack of adequate resources available to them.
