Abstract

Medellin is one of the cities, which annually reports one of the highest indicators of concentration of wealth in the world. This means that poverty is a factor that has an impact on people’s lives, which in large part it could explain the problems of exclusion and violence. A look from the anthropology of poverty allows to recognize the contributions of social movements, which from different perspectives have been developed and which have generated critical and emancipatory alternatives. This paper aims to make an anthropological look at poverty in Medellin by taking into account some contributions of the Franciscan thought and social experiences, which have influenced good living.
