The Business Solution to Poverty

Also by Paul Polak

Out of Poverty

What Works When Traditional Approaches Fail

Paul Polak explodes the “Three Great Poverty Eradication Myths” and tells how he and the organization he founded, International Development Enterprises, developed an approach that has succeeded in lifting millions out of poverty. Polak tells fascinating and moving stories about the people he and IDE have helped, especially Krishna Bahadur Thapa, a Nepali farmer who went from barely surviving to becoming solidly upper middle class. “Wise and engaging.” —The Economist Hardcover, 248 pages, ISBN 978-1-57675-449-8 Paperback, ISBN 978-1-60509-276-8 PDF ebook, ISBN 978-1-57675-548-8 ...
