Analyzing the War on Poverty, theories of the culture of poverty and the underclass, the effects of Reaganomics, and the 1996 welfare reform, Stricker demonstrates that most antipoverty approaches are futile without the presence (or creation) of good jobs. Stricker notes that since the 1970's, U.S. poverty levels have remained at or above 11%, despite training programs and periods of economic growth. 606 $aPoverty$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPoor$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aPoverty$xHistory 615 0$aPoor$xHistory 676 $a362.5/560973 676 $a362.5560973 700 $aStricker$b Frank$01603209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819255303321 996 $aWhy America lost the war on poverty-- and how to win it$93927487 997 $aUNINA
