Description
Summary:Poverty is a recurrent phenomenon, its permanence as a subject of study proves it. The market evangelists' breach with the values of ancient societies was responsible for the advent of a new form of poverty, a modernized poverty unrelated to poverty under its Arab-Muslim, Greek or vernacular form. This new version of poverty is the fruit of the pressure and frustration conveyed by the economization of human societies. The modernized poverty flourished with the advent of the phenomenon of globalization. It is currently the art of under-developed countries as the counterpart of integration in the "planetary village " for these same countries is synonymous with the breach with the lifestyle of ancient societies. The present paper is meant to highlight deprivation in the era of successive crises and the questioning of the single-minded approach so dear to the market evangelists. This work is the fruit of a series of observations combined with a heterodox analysis of poverty and deprivation. We endeavoured to underline the nature of the poverty-growth causality. Is growth indeed synonymous with the decline of deprivation? Is economic growth actually beneficial to the poor? Shall we witness the advent of a new version of deprivation as a result of non-adherence to or rather exclusion from a dominant life standard?
