Persistent poverty in developing countries : determining the causes and closing the gaps Aspen Institute QueenstownUS 1998 v, 146 p. Concludes that globalization and market forces will continue to lift large segments of the world's population out of poverty, however these forces are not sufficient to eradicate or even adequately address poverty.
