In this collection of essays, Charles Porterfield Krauth offers a passionate and insightful critique of poverty and its causes. He argues that poverty is not just a material condition, but a spiritual one as well, and that it can only be eradicated by addressing both its material and spiritual dimensions. Krauth's analysis remains relevant today, as we continue to seek solutions to the persistent problem of poverty.
