Abstract
What follows is the barest outline of some of the major issues emerging from the Second Carnegie
Inquiry into Poverty and Development. I intend to flesh out these bones in the seminar in the hope of
provoking critical discussion.
This seminar will focus on poverty and the processes of impoverishment in Southern Africa, and on the second Carnegie Inquiry, which has been going on over the past five years. Background, and introduction:
Purpose of the Inquiry is not just to document poverty, but to
engage in policy-oriented research: research to assist the
society to develop strategies to move away from poverty.
