Abstract
Mainstream IPE is not concerned with poverty or the poor. This is part ly the result of IPE's empiricist epistemology and partly a consequenc e of power-as-resource. This article offers a critique of this epistem ology and that concept of power, using the work of Partha Dasgupta as a case in point, and develops the outline of what we call an 'ameliora tive epistemology' as a way forward for IPE.
