Towards transformation --Index. 330 3 $aThere is a demand for a new narrative to enable us to escape from the crisis in our society. This book argues that we need to start with the society we want, rather than framing poverty as a problem to be solved. It calls for a bold forward-looking social policy that addresses continuing austerity, under-resourced organisations and a lack of social solidarity. Based on a research programme carried out by the Webb Memorial Trust involving leading organisations, academics, community activists, children, and surveys of more than 12,000 people living in poverty, a key theme is power which shows that the way forward is to increase people?s sense of agency in building the society that they want. 410 0$aPolicy Press shorts.$pInsights. 606 $aPoverty 606 $aPoverty$xPublic opinion 606 $aEquality$xSociological aspects 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aSocial policy 607 $aLondon (England)$xHistory$y1951- 610 0$asocial justice 610 0$asocial policy 610 0$anew narrative 610 0$apoverty 610 0$agood society 610 0$aCivil society 615 0$aPoverty. 615 0$aPoverty$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aEquality$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aSocial policy. 676 $a362.57 700 $aKnight$b Barry$0899181 712 02$aWebb Memorial Trust, 801 2$bUkMaJRU 801 2$bNZ-WeVUL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219863503321 996 $aRethinking poverty$92008889 997 $aUNINA
