The World Banks reliance on market forces when trying to achieve economic growth produces problems when implementing the Banks strategies. The author puts forward his view that poverty should not merely be defined in terms of income, and that the struggle against poverty should respect the culture and views of the poor themselves, building into programmes the flexibility to respond to their views and enhance their political influence.
