Poverty Knowledge: Social Science, Social Policy, and the Poor in Twentieth-Century U.S. History - Politics and Society in Modern America
Alice O'Connor
In the 1990s, policy specialists made "dependency" the issue and crafted incentives to get people off welfare. This work gives an account of the thinking behind these very different views of "the poverty problem," in a century-spanning inquiry into the politics, institutions, ideologies, and social science that shaped poverty research and policy.
