Eliminating Global Poverty; Empowering the People
While strides have been made in fighting global poverty, we need to change our trade and fiscal policies toward developing countries, so that these countries really have a shot at reducing poverty & empowering civil society. The next president should also seriously work on canceling the debts of impoverished countries without harmful conditions. Much of this $$ was incurred by dictators or illegitimate regimes. In the end, it's the people in these countries who languish in poverty .
