The locust effect : why the end of poverty requires the end of violence

Haugen, Gary A, Boutros, Victor

Overview

While the world has made encouraging strides in the fight against global poverty, the hidden plague of everyday violence silently undermines our best efforts to help the poor. Common violence like rape, forced labor, illegal detention, land theft, and police abuse has become routine and relentless. And like a horde of locusts devouring everything in its path, the unchecked plague of violence ruins lives, blocks the road out of poverty, and undercuts development. Gary A. Haugen and Victor Boutros offer an account of how we got here and what it will take to end the plague.
