The Complex Causes of Poverty
30th November: Mariana Swann, a member of our group, who recently published an autobiographical novel, ‘Pachamama – Mother Earth, the story of three generations of a Bolivian Family’ spoke to us about growing up in Bolivia. She told us about some of her research into world history that has affected her beloved country and its people. She discussed why, when Bolivia is blessed with such an abundance of natural mineral wealth, it is still such a poor country. Mariana’s talk was followed by an interesting time of questions and discussion.
