My new book, NL, (see the cover of the English edition, which is now on sale) is divided into two parts: I. The Concept of Poverty (4 chapters, chaps.) and II. Poverty Measurement (5 Chapters). cap. Revised version of chapter I. 12 of my unpublished doctoral dissertation (2005): Expand your vision. A new approach to poverty and human development, Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS-Occidente, Guadalajara). cap. I have a basic character: it creates a typology of households (HG), describes for each type of HG its production-cycle processes and its articulations with institutions and government, and establishes the concept and typology of sources of household well-being (FBE). )). More chops. 6 and 7, devoted to the typology of poverty measurement methods (MMP), are closely related. Expand the look. Among them I classify the corresponding MMPs according to their protocol, as protocol (N); seminormative (SN) and non-normative (NN); with its character, directly and indirectly; And with its dimensions, both one-dimensional and multi-dimensional. I critically describe and evaluate all MMPs. These chapters provide an informative map of MMPs where they exist. Chapter 9 is based on Chapter 14 of my doctoral thesis, which – with some modifications – was published as an essay. The version included in the NL closely follows both texts. It refers to Aggregate Poverty Measures (APM), i.e., they aggregate the poverty levels of a country or its region into a single figure. These MAPs can also reveal general conditions of poverty for specific groups according to characteristics such as social class, race or religion. cap. Provides an original vision of MAPs, as well as a critique of MAPs that are sensitive to inequality among the poor, proposing, instead, a MAP that is sensitive to macro social inequality. Chops. NL’s 2 and 3 closely follow my article (2007) in presenting a critique of the political economy of poverty (CEPP). Insults. NL is Volume 1 of a two volume work. 2nd Vol. Focuses on Human Resources (HF) and BE. My doctoral thesis reflected a profound change in my view of human beings, a change that began in 1989 when I lived in Bogotá – where I participated in the Regional Program for the Eradication of Poverty in Latin America – UNDP -, economist and philosopher. Knowing my interest in human essence (EH), Lipardo Sarmiento suggested I study. Marxism and AnthropologyBy Georgi Marcus. This reading opened my eyes and radically changed my view of HD. The story of Marcus – detailed in Chapter 2 Expand the look– Designed my entire thesis. Marcus’ influence led to the development of what I now call the New Approach to Poverty and Human Development (NEPFH). Volume 2, published in Spanish and English, contains the most recent precedent in Spanish: I published in 2020 Poverty and Human Resources. A radical perspectiveThe text focuses on NEPFH and its foundations, esp Marxism and Anthropology Marcus and in a comparative analysis of various theories of human needs (NH). So, the second volume will be an expanded and updated version of my 2020 book. This two-volume work will be an integrated view of two stages of my intellectual development: Conceptualization/Measuring Poverty and NEPFH.
After completing my doctoral research, I integrated the digit. At 23 Insults (2007), its themes. In its 10th anniversary issue Insults (2010), explained its importance: “When I decided to break the narrow framework of conventional poverty studies, broadening my perspective to look at SH as a whole, combining poverty with FH and distinguishing economic poverty from human poverty, the work I did in my doctoral thesis, I fully embraced it. didn’t realize The broadening of vision was linked to the projection of vision into the future, in which FH was a common reality.. However, I realized that, therefore, when planning to not. I invited two people Ethical futurists
[…] Marcus George [filósofo marxista crítico] and Ruth Levitus [experta en estudios utopistas]. As these works confirm the centrality I attribute to the development of needs (N), “the approach developed in my doctoral thesis allows us not only to expand our vision but also to project it into the future. good FH and, therefore, Good community It encourages and encourages the growth and satisfaction of N and the development and use of skills (C). By introducing C next to N, the active aspect of man (SH) complements the passive aspect [de las N] forming a complete SH.” Part 1 of the title of no. From poverty to human resources
, represents an expansion of vision towards economic poverty and its eradication, human poverty and its eradication, and human prosperity. It also reflects the enormity of the task before us: to overcome economic poverty and achieve prosperity for all. 2nd part of title, Critical theory or utopianism?
It is “Critical Theory Y Utopia”, thus aligns with EP Thomson, for whom Marxism, the realm of knowledge, and utopia, the realm of desire, are unified. In Expand the look He had passed From economic poverty to human poverty and prosperity; Inside Insults Boss Broaden the vision to project it to the future and to internal and external criticism.
