Building o­n the findings of previous Up in Smoke? reports, Other Worlds are Possible calls for new economic approaches to international development which are more in tune with the needs of people and the planet.

The report describes how the costs and benefits of global economic growth have been very unfairly distributed, with those o­n lowest incomes getting the fewest benefits and paying the highest costs. A wide range of examples of more positive approaches are given from the wide, practical experience of the agencies in the coalition. Altogether they paint a picture of more qualitative development that is not dependent o­n further global over-consumption by the already rich, in the hope that crumbs of poverty alleviation are perhaps passed to those at the bottom of the income pile.
