Felix & Sofie: Against poverty!
'There is no poverty and no wealth. There is merely an impoverished
definition of wealth - in terms of economics and calculation.
Unfortunately, the entire world's poor have signed up to this
definition, which makes them poor to the second degree'
Baudrillard Cool Memories IV
What is poverty, what are the causes, and what can we do about it? These questions will be discussed with Jos Philips (University of Utrecht and author of Affluent in the Face of Poverty: On What Rich Individuals Like Us Should Do), Mirjam Pool (freelance journalist) and Rene Gabriels (researcher on the quality of life, University of Maastricht). Moderators: Ellen ter Gast, Laura Klompenhouwer and Stijn Sieckelinck
