| Sommario/riassunto: | Are the impoverished victims of circumstance or are they contributing to their situations through their own actions and principles? This perplexing question does not have a simple answer. ""Generational Poverty: An Economic Look at the Culture of the Poor"" examines both sides of the coin. Written by an economist, the book provides a unique perspective into the study of this emotionally-charged issue. It shows that economic analysis can shed light on some of the roots of persistent poverty and may point to its potential solution.Generational Poverty covers the author's eye-opening experience |
