Priest, university lecturer, former member of parliament from Aruba, Armando Lampe, PhD, commented that "For parents, social workers, those working in the international development aid, and even for social Christians, this book is a must. It is an inspiration for all to join the author's battle against economic dependency. The struggle against poverty is a noble cause, but empowerment of the poor is the key, not making them dependent. The author's invention of the word undependence is a powerful contribution to the debate about the globalization of poverty."
The book follows up from his six times best selling book Dances with Dependency. DWD was written specifically to make a difference to the horrendous poverty and misery experienced by indigenous populations throughout the world--becoming one of the most influential books on this topic. Importantly, the book offers real turnaround solutions to those seeking to find their way out of poverty. Dances with Dependency illustrates the "demographic tsunami" and how critical the economic prosperity of such indigenous and minority populations is to the future of nations
The Economic Dependency Trap: Breaking Free to Self-Reliance expands on the theme introduced in Dances with Dependency. It explains the universal forms of economic dependency that impact virtually every level of society and every country. The book describes how economic dependency has flown like a stealth bomber, unnoticed past our radars of common sense, and carpet bombed the most fundamental values and attitudes individuals require to maintain their sense of self-worth and feelings of hope. For the first time the principles of economic dependency have been articulated in a manner that show the devastation caused to families and populations, and the rules that govern its application. Helin proposes groundbreaking, positive solutions in down-to-earth language every reader can relate to.
