- W4387119912 abstract "Abstract The Poverty of the World explores the origins of a conception of “global poverty” in twentieth-century American thought, politics, and culture. Following a group of American intellectuals, policymakers, and activists—John Collier, Oscar Lewis, John Kenneth Galbraith, Michael Harrington, and Sargent and Eunice Shriver, among others—who came into contact with mass poverty because of the profound reshuffling of the international system after 1945, this book argues that these liberals worked to advance a vision of American power in the world that put poverty-fighting at its center. After the war, owing to growing anxieties about the conspicuousness of American affluence and the strategic imperatives of fighting the Cold War, the US government adopted this fight against poverty in the newly independent nations of what came to be called the “Third World.” For liberals, seeing and making sense of deprivation abroad fundamentally altered the way in which they came to understand poverty as a social problem at home. By linking the histories of New Deal and Great Society domestic social programs with those of Cold War–era development programs, the book demonstrates how ideas about and policies addressing poverty in the United States and “underdevelopment” in the Third World became intertwined, fueling a global war on poverty. Their vision of empire ultimately failed, overwhelmed by the empire of force the US government deployed most aggressively in Southeast Asia. Capturing a moment in which many Americans saw poverty-fighting as their nation’s purpose, the book offers a new interpretation of postwar liberalism." @default.
