It explains how the roots of poverty are rooted in the marginalization of the rationalities of the so called poor, a marginalization that renders them disempowered from realizing their conception of the good life.

This means that reformers must focus on building systems of discourse that allow the marginalized to participate in the shaping of the dominant rationalities that govern us all.
