2 - What is Poverty?

Fraser Scott and Kevin Honore look at the nature of poverty - is it really just a lack of resources or is there more to it than that? The discussion focuses on the relational nature of poverty and why that matters, particularly when westerners step into other cultures in which we see 'the poor'. A key resource discussed in this episode is 'When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor . . . and Yourself'' by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert (Buy on Amazon).
