When the United States joined the war on global poverty, economists, policymakers, and activists asked how to change a world in which millions lived in need. A War on Global Poverty looks beyond familiar histories of development and explains why antipoverty programs increasingly focused on women as the deserving poor. Providing a fresh account of US involvement in campaigns to end global poverty in the 1970s and 1980s, this incisive book takes readers from the decline of modernization programs to the rise of microcredit, revealing how development experts and antipoverty advocates recast impoverished women as economic actors and entrepreneurs who could help lift families and nations out of destitution.
