Reviews
Spicker's open and pragmatic view of the balanced benefits of development will appeal to many. The Poverty of Nations: A Relational Perspective is a useful entree into thinking about poverty more broadly. ... it resonated with many of my own experiences of work in both international development and social security contexts. This was perhaps its key strength, its attempt to connect understanding of poverty across a divide of very different circumstances and nations, whilst also honouring the particular experiences of each.
