"This book provides various pathways towards ‘Good Living’ (Buen Vivir), as an alternative to development: a call to move beyond the fetishism of progress, which, far from alleviating poverty and slowing down the destruction of Nature, steadily increases them both." Alberto Acosta, Former President of the Constituent Assembly of Ecuador [2007-2008]"This book is an informed and impassioned call to action to end (monetary) poverty and its concatenation of effects on children’s lives. It distils the vast and dispersed literature on inter-generational perpetuation of poverty accurately in a readable and concise fashion – which itself is no minor feat. Its analysis is a springboard to articulate actions that would uproot poverty feasibly and permanently. The authors’ intellectual rigour and ethical energy permeates the narrative, making this a book to be read seriously and to be used." Sabina Alkire, Professor, Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, University of Oxford, United Kingdom"In this book a talented group of researchers give us direction on how to build on the world progress in reducing extreme poverty and break the circle of poverty. As so clearly presented in this book, with excellent academic basis, this is the ultimate goal in advancing the lives of so many children and families around the world." Asher Ben-Arieh, Professor, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
