The Patchwork Puzzle of Poverty

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In this thought-provoking book, we embark on a journey to understand the complexities of poverty, its far-reaching impact, and the urgent need for transformative solutions. Through a comprehensive analysis of poverty's historical roots, its multifaceted dimensions, and the policies aimed at addressing it, we aim to shed light on this pressing issue and inspire action.

Combining rigorous research with real-life stories, this book delves into the lived experiences of individuals and communities trapped in poverty's grip. We explore the systemic barriers that perpetuate poverty, such as lack of access to education, employment, and healthcare, and the devastating consequences they have on health, education, and social well-being.

We also recognize the resilience and strength of those living in poverty, their unwavering determination to break free from its shackles. We celebrate their stories of perseverance and highlight the importance of empowering individuals and communities to take control of their own destinies.

This book is not just an academic exploration; it is a call to action. It urges us to confront the harsh realities of poverty and to work together to create a more just and equitable society. It challenges us to rethink our current approaches to poverty alleviation and to embrace innovative strategies that prioritize prevention, early intervention, and long-term sustainability.

With compassion and urgency, this book compels us to recognize the interconnectedness of our humanity and to extend a helping hand to those in need. It is a clarion call for collaboration, empathy, and unwavering commitment to eradicating poverty in all its forms.

The Planning Fallacy -...

William Rands

The allure of optimism has been a driving force behind humanity’s greatest achievements. It propels innovation, inspires ambition, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. Yet, this same optimism can lead us astray, particularly when it comes to planning and executing tasks. The belief that everything will unfold as envisioned, without significant setbacks or challenges, is an enticing illusion. This overconfidence, while comforting, often masks the reality of time and resource constraints, resulting in a phenomenon known as the planning fallacy.
At its core, the planning fallacy arises from our tendency to underestimate the time, effort, and costs required to complete tasks, regardless of past experiences. Even seasoned professionals and experienced teams are not immune to this bias, often succumbing to unrealistic timelines and budgets. The hidden costs of this fallacy ripple through personal lives, businesses, and large-scale projects, leaving behind missed deadlines, financial overruns, and unmet expectations.
On an individual level, the planning fallacy can manifest in simple daily scenarios. People frequently underestimate how long it will take to commute, complete errands, or prepare for events. This miscalculation leads to stress, frustration, and a constant feeling of being behind. In professional settings, it becomes even more pronounced, as teams juggle complex projects with high stakes. Unrealistic deadlines can push employees to their limits, fostering burnout and reducing overall productivity.

Treasure

Jemima Foxtrot

"religion's been cruel to people like usthe darkwood sluts      the good time girlsbut god as my witnesssome of us           we're just trying to wrangle our powerback from the species that took it"
Jemima Foxtrot's Treasure is a shining work of alchemy and liberation which explores power dynamics, sex work, desire, and female friendship with a fresh and playful perspective. Foxtrot investigates shimmering sexualities, the economies of desire, the theft of childhood and pathways towards reclaiming it. Her language is lush: intimate, intricate, full of fertile earth's possibility. The poems of Treasure live up to its name: showing us where the gold is—the joy—how to feed it into the soil of our lives.
"Treasure is an aptly chosen title for this collection, both as a noun (that quantity of precious ore dug from the stuff of experience) and as a verb (the imperative to seek out, sing, and cherish joy through the sharing of it). Foxtrot is a savvy, sometimes savage, sensualist; her poetic speakers alert to injustice, but alive to pleasure in every way that counts. These are superbly tactile poems, poems of being-in-the-body, and being-in-the-world; they are full of wit, vigour and feminist jouissance. These are also formally exciting poems, poems that showcase a beautifully bold and oddly tender lyric defiance." Fran Lock, Hyena, T.S. Eliot Prize Shortlist
