Review of Poverty, Inc. (2015) by Marcas P — 08 Jan 2017
This documentary facilitates a necessary conversation and the need for partnership over and against and older paternalist view is solid. However, the critique is limited by a misplaced faith in globalism; without the nuance and warning of its adverse affects.
To bring Africa into a globalised market at this moment, with corporatism and corruption as rife as it is, is ambiguous at best. The poor should be having concurrent dialogue about how they can keep their traditions, family and community dynamics intact whilst also sharing in global benefits.
Those in the richer countries, it must be said, also need to have such conversations and together take action to address them. With goals separate from those of social liberals and/or panderers to economic growth.
