James Ferguson

Give a Man a Fish

Reflections on the New Politics of Distribution

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

James Ferguson examines the rise of social welfare programs in southern Africa in which states give cash payments to their low income citizens. These programs, Ferguson argues, offer new opportunities for political mobilization and inspire new ways to think about issues of production, distribution, markets, labor and unemployment.
