Abstract

The eradication of poverty has always been one of the main objectives of social reformers, and sometimes this moral concern has made it also the object of empirical investigation by social scientists. This convergence has again occurred in recent years, and has resulted in a flourishing literature both within and outside Latin America. In the first part of his article, the author reviews the most important elements of that literature, laying special emphasis on the writings of the advocates of ‘another development’, ‘redistribution with growth’ and ‘the satisfaction of basis needs’.
