Beschreibung
In his book Lugalla looks at the relationship between
adjustment policies and poverty in Tanzania. He understands
Tanzanian poverty in the context of dominant social
relations of inequality and not in terms of poverty lines.
The author’s main argument is that adjustment policies are
intensifying these relations in Tanzania rather than
reducing or eliminating them. He concludes that adjustment
policies are not able to solve but create and even intensify
poverty in Tanzania.
