Publisher's Note A controversial look at how American politics has transformed the "new" poverty into a demoralization of the poor that has alienated them from the working majority, written by a workfare programs advocate and author of Beyond Entitlement. Two hardcover printings sold.
Industry Reviews According to Mead, whose Beyond entitlement (1986) helped shift national welfare policy toward work requirements, America is faced today with a new dependency politics, where the issue is no longer whether there are enough jobs for the poor but why so many poor either cannot or will not work at the jobs available.
