This volume captures the individual and collective wisdom of influential thinkers, practitioners, and policymakers from all regions of the world. Gathered in August 2000 for an Aspen Institute conference, the group affirmed that dramatically reducing poverty is an achievable goal. The key is for local, national, and international leadership to speed the path to development by making the benefits of high and low technology available to and workable for poor individuals and communities. The book contains conference conclusions and recommendations with practical examples.
