Beyond the Classroom presents "The End of Poverty?"
Description:
The End of Poverty? is a daring, thought-provoking and very timely documentary revealing that poverty is not an accident. The End of Poverty? asks why today 20 percent of the planet's population uses 80 percent of its resources and consumes 30 percent more than the planet can regenerate? Can we really end poverty under our current economic system? Think again. Join William Easterly, Susan George, Amartya Sen, Joseph Stigltiz and other leading experts to rethink this issue!
A sort of An Inconvenient Truth for global economics& -- Charles Masters, the Hollywood Reporter.
&should be required viewing by every politician in the world. Eric Monder, Film Journal International.
