"If anyone had told me the things I know now about the Catholic Church when I was a seminarian or a young priest, I would have been outraged, would have plugged my ears, or would have run. I would not have believed such charges and would have regarded them as authored by the devil. I had been brain-washed against all such things. At sixteen years of age, I entered the seminary where I applied myself diligently, and at the age of twenty-eight, I was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in the Discalced Carmelite Order. Then I went forth into the field, doing as I was told, wanting nothing more than to increase the Church, desiring to live and die a Catholic priest and perhaps even become a saint. I had been a priest about five years when a change began to come over my life. I was not at peace." - Back cover.

Despite almost four decades and billions of dollars in development activities, we are barely in a position to track the changing dynamics of poverty or to define with conviction the processes that entrap the poor in their misery. Accounting for about 90% of global poverty, rural poverty, through transmigration, is also a main contributor to urban poverty. It is in the rural areas of the world where poverty is most severe in human terms, where the hunger, hopelessness, hardship, and despair commonly associated with entrenched poverty are most pronounced, where basic health services, sanitation, educational opportunities, and other common amenities are most lacking. The alleviation of rural poverty is therefore tantamount to the alleviation of global poverty in its entirety. The State of World Rural Poverty offers the first comprehensive look at the economic conditions and prospects of the world's rural poor.
