Summary: This volume provides a new impetus to search for practical solutions to forced displacement. It brings to the fore new ideas and policy recommendations which hope to overcome shortcomings or omissions in current thinking, policies and practices. This book raises critical policy issues that have plagued economists ever since Pareto. Financial solutions derived from a narrow compensation theory can neither improve, nor restore incomes. The author put forward novel solutions for de-pauperizing those displaced: targeted investments and benefit-sharing, additional to compensation. Development analysts, economists and policy makers stand to learn and practitioners stand to gain, from carefully considering the analysis and recommendations advanced by this book.
