| Paul Polak, whose organisation International Development Enterprises (IDE) has directly helped over 17 million people get out of poverty permanently, exposes the top 3 things we are doing wrong in our efforts to end the root causes of poverty.

The primary purpose of the book is to tell the riveting, at times humorous and often inspiring story of poor people as they struggle to create new wealth, aided in their efforts by the unique development organisation founded by the author.
