The purpose of this paper is, first, to present a historical review of the main approaches that have dealt with poverty in its various manifestations, and then to analyze the Peruvian case in terms of the relationship or correlation between monetary poverty and that which can be measured by the Unsatisfied Basic Needs approach, and public investment, measured by the variable Gross Public Capital Formation, using the correlation coefficient as a central tool, establishing that there is a strong degree of inverse association between the implementation of sustainable public spending and poverty reduction, with results very close to 1. The main lesson that can be drawn is that it is necessary to sustain the implementation of public policies focused on different sectors that provide the best results in terms of poverty reduction rates.
