“Violence is as much a part of what is means to be poor as being hungry, sick, homeless, or jobless. In fact, as we shall see, violence is frequently the problem that poor people are most concerned about. It is one of the core reasons they are poor in the first place, and one of the primary reasons they stay poor. Indeed, we will simply never be able to win the battle against extreme poverty unless we address it.” SufferingCompassionPovertyViolenceCharityAltruism Book:The Locust Effect: Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence Source: The Locust Effect: Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence
