The argument is gathered into three mechanisms

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BOOK

At the start of the remedy section, Desmond restates how the book argues poverty is produced: exploitation, subsidies favoring affluence and exclusive communities. He associates each category with domains and decisions developed in earlier chapters.
