- Two economists at Covenant College's Chalmers Center arguing that well-meant relief given where development is needed does harm, and that the poverty in view is as much a matter of broken relationships as of material want. Foreword by John M. Perkins. Neither Moody's page nor the Library of Congress record gives a page count for this 2009 first edition.
