He explores a range of issues arising from the economic phenomenon--increasing inequality and demands for use of an improved poverty definition. He focuses the story on the impact of the highly controversial welfare reform of 1996, passed by a Republican Congress and signed by a Democratic President Clinton, despite the laments of anguished liberals.Public welfareUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPovertyGovernment policyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesSocial policyUnited StatesEconomic conditionsPublic welfareHistoryPovertyGovernment policyHistory361.610973Patterson James T216154Patterson James T216154MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778196903321America's struggle against poverty in the twentieth century3687840UNINA
