Reviews
<p> Fighting Poverty Together is a clear-headed, pragmatic and ultimately hopeful look at real solutions to the moral affront that is global poverty. This is a great book! --Bruce McNamer, CEO, TechnoServe<p> <p> Rejecting the market libertarian approach--including the microcredit and 'bottom of the pyramid' marketing fads--Aneel Karnani urges job creation, government social provisioning, and civil society advocates and watchdogs to reduce poverty. Instead of romanticizing the poor, the market, and business, his pragmatism deserves attention in an age when capitalism is the 'only show in town.' --Jomo Kwame Sundaram, United Nations Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development <p> Aneel Karnani wields a scythe through the fuzzy thinking and well-meaning but ineffective anti-poverty programs that continue to divert valuable time and money. His new book is must reading for anyone trying to create solutions to global poverty that actually work. --Eric Nee, managing edito

Karnani has made a major contribution to our understanding of both the sources of global poverty and the roles that business, government, and civil society realistically can play in ameliorating it. --David Vogel, Haas School of Business, Department of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley
