A genuinely global survey of world poverty from 1500 to the
present day, Poverty in World History focuses upon the period from
around 1500 onwards when poverty became a global issue, and uses
the process of globalization as the chief lens through which to
study and understand poverty in world history.
The result is both a tying together of significant strands of
world history, and an examination of changing attitudes towards
poverty and poor relief throughout the world. This wide ranging
study underscores a major consequence of increased cultural and
economic interaction among the world's societies, highlighting the
similarities and differences in impacts and responses to the
resulting 'smaller' globe. Topics include:
- innovations in early modern poor relief
- the causes of trends towards a globalization of poverty after
1500
- poor relief since 1945 to the present
- poverty, morality and the state.
