question 17

Essay

Do you agree with those who argue that significant reductions in poverty can be made by "nudging" the poor to make more "rational" choices to achieve their goals? Or do you agree with those who argue that poverty is caused by structural factors and can best be reduced by redistributing national income, strengthening the political rights of the poor, and democratizing? Do you think that development strategies should be based on "growth first" or "welfare first"? Why or why not?
