Action at the Grassroots: Fighting Poverty and Environmental Decline
Authors: Alan Durning
Publisher:
Type of cover: Hard Cover

Summary: Introduces development work as it is practiced in the world of the NGO (Non-Governmental Organization), and strikes at the heart of environmental degradation.

Durning states the environmental case bluntly, “that human health no longer be sacrificed for economic growth” (p. 8).

This is a word for those pursuing careers in investment banking or international business. Durning talks about urban street vending businesses, micro loan programs and structural barriers the urban poor face in getting credit.
