Poverty in Contemporary Thought aims to describe and critically examine how economic thought deals with poverty, including its causes, consequences, reduction, and abolition.

Knut Wicksell is arguably the greatest Swedish social scientist of all time and poverty was a theme that occupied him all his life. In this book Mats Lundahl, one of the world's leading development economists, examines Wicksell's thinking in the area and shows that his contribution is a major one.
