Bringing together foreign and domestic policy, The Poverty of the World aims to offer a new answer to the question of why Americans became obsessed with poverty in the 1960s. A history of how American liberals made sense of US power during a period of unprecedented affluence at home, it uses intellectual and political biographies of major figures in postwar US social thought and politics to tell the story of how Americans invented the problem of "global poverty" and executed a war against it.
