From Poverty to Well-Being and Human Flourishing (Volume 2) - A Marxian Approach

Following the highly respected first volume, this book continues to provide a holistic view of Julio Boltvinik's vast and important work on poverty conceptualisation and measurement. While the previous book introduced the author's widely adopted Integrated Poverty Measurement Method (IPMM), this new volume outlines his Marxian approach to poverty and human flourishing, focusing on what he conceptualises as human poverty.
Bringing together 20 years of research, this interdisciplinary book provides an alternative to Sen's Capability approach and details its internal consistency, solid foundations and promising perspectives for applicability.
