About this book:  ‘There are three main schools of thought on poverty — the structural, the palliative, and the capability conceptions.  The structural conception of poverty examines how it is that poverty is produced (Lines, 2008).  It seeks to interrogate the socioeconomic structures that produce inequality, marginalization, and exclusion, rather than assuming these as extant, and then “mopped up” through remedial public action.  In this structural conceptualization, then, it is power inequality that produces poverty’ — Padraig Carmody (2012).[1]
