In the book, economist Jeffrey Sachs presents an optimistic plan for eliminating extreme poverty by 2025. He argues that this is feasible with political will, because world wealth is growing, and poverty is not fate, but the result of inefficient systems.
The book is the result of many years of work by editors and collaborators and monitoring and analysis of domestic and foreign research on the impact of the media on children, youth and adults.
This work deals with the themes of class struggle and different conceptions of social and economic development, providing insight into sociological and economic theories relevant to the time.
