Making it HappenConclusion Review "This book provides various pathways towards Good Living (Buen Vivir), as an alternative to development: a call to move beyond the fetishism of progress, which, far from alleviating poverty and slowing down the destruction of Nature, steadily increases them both." Alberto Acosta, Former President of the Constituent Assembly of Ecuador [2007-2008]"This book is an informed and impassioned call to action to end (monetary) poverty and its concatenation of effects on childrens lives. It distils the vast and dispersed literature on inter-generational perpetuation of poverty accurately in a readable and concise fashion – which itself is no minor feat. Its analysis is a springboard to articulate actions that would uproot poverty feasibly and permanently. The authors intellectual rigour and ethical energy permeates the narrative, making this a book to be read seriously and to be used." Sabina Alkire, Professor, Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, University of Oxford, United Kingdom"In this book a talented group of researchers give us direction on how to build on the world progress in reducing extreme poverty and break the circle of poverty. As so clearly presented in this book, with excellent academic basis, this is the ultimate goal in advancing the lives of so many children and families around the world." Asher Ben-Arieh, Professor, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel"A cry for action on child poverty from four distinguished scholars, drawing on worldwide evidence to back their case and proposing cogent policy remedies within the grasp of national governments. The most important issue of our time. Act." Jonathan Bradshaw, Emeritus Professor, University of York, United Kingdom"The time to consign mass poverty to the dustbin of history is long overdue. This requires freeing children from the chains that bound their parents. Here is an essential guide to this escape." Jean Drèze, Honorary Professor, Delhi School of Economics, India"This book vividly traces the pathways through which poverty transmits across generations, generating deep patterns of intergenerational disadvantage. It demonstrates the critical role of social rights and programmes giving effect to these rights in disrupting these patterns and improving outcomes for future generations. It is essential reading for all who are interested in the role of law and policy in improving the life chances of those living in poverty, particularly children and generations still to come." Sandra Liebenberg, Distinguished Professor and HF Oppenheimer Chair in Human Rights Law, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa"A must-read for anyone concerned about the persistence of poverty, this seminal book argues that to break the intergenerational perpetuation of poverty, it is necessary to intervene early on, addressing the vicious circles that constrain poor childrens life chances." Chiara Saraceno, Honorary Fellow, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Italy"This books solutions are actionable and holistic thanks to a human-rights framework and deep respect for knowledge that is forged by lived experience of poverty."
