GES 440 - Global Poverty and Inequality(3.00) This course examines the political, economic and socio-historical factors that cause and sustain poverty in the context of both the Global South and the United States. Students explore various development and poverty-reduction interventions and the role key actors and institutions play in addressing poverty, along with the relationship between privilege and poverty. We analyze both the positive and negative effects of programs such as growth-driven development, structural adjustment, micro-finance, charity, and cash transfer programs.
