Ending Poverty: Changing Behavior, Guaranteeing Income, and Transforming Government

by Joseph V. Kennedy (Author)
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating
Poverty is a relentless problem in America, and the current panoply of government programs designed to alleviate it are not working. Ending Poverty presents a new approach to government policy, one that is capable of eliminating preventable poverty within the foreseeable future. This book proposes an aggressive, conservative, governmental reform plan that is institutionalized through an income contract between the individual and the government and will guarantee adequate income for all who participate.

Based on three main principles--government policy is more effective when it channels market forces than when it overrides them, individuals should have more control over the resources that government spends on their behalf, and access to a decent life free of poverty should be seen as a conditional right in American society--the book sets out reform guidelines for education, health care, housing, retirement savings, and taxation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Joe Kennedy approaches poverty policy with the heart of a liberal and the mind of a conservative, and in so doing, charts a bold and innovative course to dramatically reducing poverty and related social problems in America. This book is a breath of fresh air in a stale and deadlocked debate. (Robert Atkinson)

    It is possible. It is doable. It is so frustrating how we let our money be wasted on things that do not help anyone, make advances in humanity drag, when an answer is all worked out.
    Why aren't there college courses on this book?
    gutless.
