Poignant look at the economics of poverty by Phil Ginsburg (Houston, Texas USA)  5 Stars
October 15, 2009
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I felt the authors bring up salient issues about the world's economic realities and offers some concrete suggestions on beginning to tackle issues of extreme poverty. I did not necessarily agree with each and every method proposed, however the book was well written and thought provoking and inspired a spirited discussion amongst peers!

Incorrect Title by N. Haack (Milwaukee, WI)  1 Stars
October 15, 2008
"Economics of Poverty and Discrimination" speaks from a purely statistical economic sense. It is clear that the author has never actually been in poverty or been discriminated against. He leaves out all of the psychological and environmental repercussions of poverty and discrimination. The world is not a narrowminded labor market.
