Basing their discussions on the concept of "intergenerational transmission of poverty"--the "process by which poor parents pass on poverty and disadvantage to their children," in the words of editor Moran (until recently a senior economist with the International Development Bank's Sustainable Development Department)--five essays reflect on political, philosophical, social, and other dimensions of investing in early childhood in Latin America. The essays include Amartya Sen's discussion of early childhood investment within the context of the overall development process, as well explorations of the relationship between health, nutrition, and cognitive and social dimensions of poverty; the impact of early childhood investment on economic growth and equity; and the role of the state in marshalling resources for early childhood investment.

Det var i 1997 10 år siden Brundtlandkommisjonen leverte sin rapport "Our Common Future", og i fjor høst fant en internasjonal forskningskonferanse sted i Oslo for å markere anledningen. Formålet var blant annet å komme fremtil ideer og retningslinjer for fremtidig forskning. Denne boken inneholder bidrag fra konferansens forelesninger og workshops. All tekst er på engelsk.
