Rethinking and reconceptualizing economics to eradicate inequality and poverty

Abstract

Poverty in inner cities and rural areas of 'rich' America is shocking for many which remains invisible to policymakers. It is clear that if pervasive and intransigent poverty can exist in America, it can exist anywhere. This paper focuses on actualizing Asad Zaman's (2018) suggestions in order to move forward so we can create and implement sustainability. It also tries to integrate his suggestions into the broader movement to Rethink and Reconceptualize Economics in order to effectuate a broad-based policy for the eradication of inequality and poverty.
