Summary
There is a long-standing consensus on the need to fight poverty and eliminate it. Some fifty-five years ago, the American President Lyndon B. Johnson launched a “War on Poverty” in his 1964 State of the Union Address. Nevertheless, poverty is still a striking problem. In the United States, more than 46 million Americans lived in poverty in 2012.2 Worldwide, billions live on less than eight US dollars a day,3 and hundreds of millions on less than one dollar a day.4 Poverty is a complex, multifaceted, and persistent problem.5
