¿Por qué el Perú olvidó cómo reducir la pobreza?

Why does Peru seem to have forgotten the formula that made it a global example of poverty reduction? In this episode of May God Help Us, economist Oswaldo Molina, Professor at the University of the Pacific and Founding Director of the Network for Development Studies, analyzes in depth the anti-growth narratives and a critical shift that policymakers are ignoring: the new face of poverty in the country, which is now primarily urban and requires targeted solutions that go beyond traditional social programs.
