Description
This excerpt from the book Poverty, Progress and Development discusses how different aspects of society (e.g. socio-cultural values, intellectual, ethical, moral, and spiritual values) can contribute to or hinder progress and development. The book also discusses the links and contradictions between development and progress, and offers ways to reduce social inequalities.
The studies of poverty, progress and development in this volume, first published in 1991, by a distinguished international roster of authors and researchers, aim to increase knowledge of the social mechanisms of pauperization, marginalization, and the exclusion of certain categories of society; to bring to light the potential and creative role of socio-cultural, intellectual, ethical, moral and spiritual values in progress and the development process; and to examine the links and contradictions between development and progress in order to propose ways of reducing social inequalities.
