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. 606 $aPublic welfare$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPoverty$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial policy 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPublic welfare$xHistory 615 0$aPoverty$xGovernment policy$xHistory 676 $a361.610973 700 $aPatterson$b James T$0216154 701 $aPatterson$b James T$0216154 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454828403321 996 $aAmerica's struggle against poverty in the twentieth century$92456335 997 $aUNINA
