Helping Without Hurting: Thinking Critically About Global Poverty Alleviation, Sarah Estelle

Faculty Presentations

Principles of Microeconomics students read, discuss, and write about the philosophy of Asset-Based Community Development and potential responses of Christians to this thought-provoking approach to fighting poverty through reconciliation. The material is drawn heavily from _When Helping Hurts_ (Corbett and Fikkert, 2012) and writings by Robert Lupton of FCS Urban Ministries.
