A little late, but better late than never!
In this episode, a shout out to three books and two podcast episodes:
- Hunger Inc. Building Solidarity Beyond the Food Bank by Kayleigh Garthwaite – an incisive investigation of what happens when charitable food aid becomes part of the system rather than a temporary response to its failures.
- Caring Cash. Free Money and the Ethics of Solidarity by Tom Neumark – a refreshing exploration of cash transfers through the lens of care, dignity, and solidarity.
- Why Poverty Persists and How to Fix It by … me! – a slightly revamped paperback version of the hardback edition The Empathy Fix, with a new foreward and persistently important issue of empathy and dignity in tackling poverty.
- Beyond Poverty podcast by Outreach International – engaging and hopeful conversations with practitioners, scholars and community leaders on community-led development.
- In Pursuit of Development with Dan Banik – a wide-ranging set of deep-dive conversations on all things development, from poverty to governance and climate change. New season coming soon!
In this episode, there are also references to two previous episodes:
- Episode #55 with Beth DaPonte on food assistance and welfare in the US
- Episode #57 with Jenny Cornfield on provision of warm and welcoming meals in Scotlad
