Alleviating Poverty in the Twenty-First Century Through Frugal Innovations

Balkrishna Rao

Challenge, 2014, vol. 57, issue 3, 40-59

Abstract: Sustainable development is easy to talk about but hard to accomplish. The author proposes an ambitious agenda to alleviate poverty in the world while also maintaining the sustainability of the planet's climate and economic growth. He introduces to many readers the concept of frugal inventions to move us forward in a difficult agenda that does not receive the widespread recognition it deserves.
