The mainstream view often marginalizes the poor due to a lack of financial resources and has failed to address the deeper, ethical implications of poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author, \u003cstrong\u003eManjula Laxman\u003c\/strong\u003e, critiques the \u003cstrong\u003eutilitarian approach\u003c\/strong\u003e to poverty, which merely considers it as a \u003cstrong\u003emonetary incapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e to access goods and services. According to the author, this perspective does not adequately address the \u003cstrong\u003ehuman justice\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eliberty\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eequity\u003c\/strong\u003e issues tied to \u003cstrong\u003epoverty\u003c\/strong\u003e. The book argues that to truly eradicate poverty, we need to view it from a broader \u003cstrong\u003ehumanist perspective\u003c\/strong\u003e that incorporates \u003cstrong\u003esocial, political, and ethical\u003c\/strong\u003e dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaxman advocates for a new framework—\u003cstrong\u003eHumanistic Economics\u003c\/strong\u003e—that prioritizes \u003cstrong\u003ehuman happiness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eharmony with nature\u003c\/strong\u003e. This model proposes moving away from traditional \u003cstrong\u003emarket-oriented institutions\u003c\/strong\u003e and expanding \u003cstrong\u003ealternative market institutions\u003c\/strong\u003e that are more \u003cstrong\u003ehuman-centric\u003c\/strong\u003e.
