Chapter Chapter 3 in Fighting Poverty Together, 2011, pp 59-84 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For six decades now, various institutions have been addressing the challenges of reducing poverty: local governments, developed-country governments, international organizations (such as the World Bank and the United Nations), aid agencies, and civil society.1 So far, the intellectual discourse on poverty reduction has been largely in the fields of public policy and development economics. More recently, large companies, management experts, and business schools have entered this arena, arguing that business should play the leading role in reducing poverty.
