Towards transformation --Index.There is a demand for a new narrative to enable us to escape from the crisis in our society. This book argues that we need to start with the society we want, rather than framing poverty as a problem to be solved. It calls for a bold forward-looking social policy that addresses continuing austerity, under-resourced organisations and a lack of social solidarity. Based on a research programme carried out by the Webb Memorial Trust involving leading organisations, academics, community activists, children, and surveys of more than 12,000 people living in poverty, a key theme is power which shows that the way forward is to increase people’s sense of agency in building the society that they want.Policy Press shorts.Insights.PovertyPovertyPublic opinionEqualitySociological aspectsSocial justiceSocial policyLondon (England)History1951-social justicesocial policynew narrativepovertygood societyCivil societyPoverty.PovertyPublic opinion.EqualitySociological aspects.Social justice.Social policy.362.57Knight Barry899181Webb Memorial Trust,UkMaJRUNZ-WeVULBOOK9910219863503321Rethinking poverty2008889UNINA
