Praise for this book

Bangladesh has moved remarkably from being a basket case to a lower middle income country. Can it eradicate the extreme poverty that still afflicts a fifth of its people? The expert team which has created this exciting book uses granular case studies to answer yes. It debates the social and political costs and benefits of policy choices and pathways, comparing growth outcomes with those of distributive policy. Indispensable for anyone engaged with the character and trajectories of extreme poverty and with the world's sustainable development goals.

Barbara Harriss-White, Emeritus Professor of Development Studies, Wolfson College, Oxford

Written by a group of uniquely qualified specialists, these essays offer very valuable insights into how to address extreme poverty in a country that is rapidly becoming a success story of economic and human development. The editors make a strong case for a universal basic income to address extreme poverty that deserves the attention of policy-makers. This book will remain required reading for social scientists interested in studying extreme poverty for a long time.
