As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) pass their 2015 deadline and the international community begins to discuss the future of UN development policy, Poverty and the Millennium Development Goals brings together leading economists from both the global North and South to provide a much needed critique of the prevailing development agenda. By examining current development efforts, goals and policies, it exposes the structurally flawed and misleading measurements of poverty and hunger on which these efforts have been based, and which have led official sources to routinely underestimate the scale of world poverty even as the global distribution of wealth becomes ever more imbalanced.
Thomas Pogge is director of the Global Justice Program and Leitner professor of philosophy and international affairs at Yale University.

Alberto Cimadamore is CROP scientific director, and professor of theory of international relations at the University of Buenos Aires and researcher of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Research of Argentina.
