50 years ago, World Bank President Robert McNamara promised to end
poverty. Alleviation was to rely on economic growth, resulting in
higher incomes stimulated by Bank loans processed by deskbound
Washington staff, trickling down to the poorest. Instead, child
poverty and homelessness are on the increase everywhere. In this
book, anthropologist and former World Bank Advisor Glynn Cochrane
argues that instead of Washington's "management by seclusion,"
poverty alleviation requires personal engagement with the poorest
by helpers with hands-on local and cultural skills. Here, the
author argues, the insights provided by anthropological fieldwork
have a crucial role to play.
