520 8 _aPoverty remains one of the most urgent issues of our time. In this fully updated edition of her important intervention on the topic, Ruth Lister introduces students to the meaning and experience of poverty in the contemporary world. The book opens with a lucid discussion of current debates around the definition and measurement of poverty in industrialised societies, before embarking on a multifaceted exploration of its conceptualisation. It draws on thinking in the field of international development and real-life accounts to emphasise aspects of poverty such as powerlessness, lack of voice, loss of dignity and respect. The book embraces the relational, cultural, symbolic as well as material dimensions of poverty and makes important links between poverty and other concepts like capabilities, social divisions and exclusion, agency and citizenship.
