Calvert Begins The Book By Expressing The Complaints He Worries The Book Will Generate -- That It Is A Duplication Of Efforts, And Provides No New Information To The Reader -- However, Calvert Is Quick To Argue That This Book Is Important If Only For Its Capacity To Remind The Reader Of Previously Learned Information, Thereby Keeping Those Issues Relevant And In The Forefront Of The Public Consciousness. As A Result, This Book Is Well Suited For Readers Who Have Yet To Learn About This Particular Topic As Well As Those Who Already Posses Substantial Knowledge On The Topic But Want To Re-Engage The Material On A New Level. The Book Is Quick To Circumvent Talk Of Culture Or Religion And Dives Directly Into The Topics Of Economics And Public Welfare. Poverty, In Particular, Is A Subject That Plagues The People Of The Punjab And Thus Calvert Devotes Much Of The First Half Of His Book Discussing This Critical Issue. Making A Point To Emphasize The Importance Of The ReaderS Understand Of The Plight Of The Punjab People, Calvert Does Not Sugar-Coat The Struggle Of These People, Filling The Work With Gritty Descriptions And Compelling Personal Stories. But Calvert IsnT Only Concerned With The Problem. While He Tries To Express The Reasons Why The Economy Of Punjab Is Struggling And People Of Punjab Are Impoverished, He Inadvertently Suggests Remedies To These Problems Intended To Inspire And Motivate The Reader To Action. The Wealth And Welfare Of The Punjab: Being Some Studies In Punjab Rural Economics Is A Great Resource For The Novice Historian And Sociologist.
