Poverty, Disease, and Underdevelopment

Eileen Stillwaggon
Houses made of rags and flattened soda cans, filthy water that breeds disease, counterfeit medicines, no access to decent medical care-how can children growing up in such an environment become productive workers contributing to a developing economy? Stunted Lives, Stagnant Economies describes in vivid detail the living conditions of the poor in developing countries and the diseases and injuries that result from this environment of need. Rutgers University Press, 1998.
