Title:   Global Poverty

How do we define wealth? How has the human experience led to a situation in which part of the world's population lives in great abundance while another part lives in abject poverty? Why should we care about global poverty? What, if anything, can we do about global poverty? We will examine the influence of environment and geography on the creation and diffusion of cultural innovation in prehistoric and historic times.
