Publisher's Synopsis

This study contains essays on the fundamental causes of poverty in Asia, showing the variety of ways in which poverty is generated, reproduced and deepened or reduced by the exercise of power. This central concept of power is not confined to the actions of the state but is also used to analyze the operations of market forces and institutions rooted in civil society.
