5.0 out of 5 stars
Insightful analysis of poverty issues,
This review is from: Out of Reach: Place, Poverty, and the New American Welfare State (Paperback)
This book by this University of Chicago professor provides an insightful analysis of poverty issues in the US. It uses comprehensive data to provide new and compelling insights about how and why government agencies often fail to provide help to underprivileged communities. It finds, for example, that most agencies do not locate in high poverty neighborhoods, thereby impeding their ability to provide help. Importantly, the book provides solutions, using the United Way of Greater Toronto as an example of organization that located agencies near underprivileged communities. A must read for policy makers.
