Description

The United States is without doubt one of the most affluent nations on this planet and has its largest economy; however, it has more poverty than most countries with similar standards of living. Growing source of revenue inequality and the Great Recession have made the problem worse. In this thoroughly revised edition of Poverty in The us, Iceland takes a new look at this issue by examining why poverty remains pervasive, what it means to be poor in The us today, which groups are in all probability to be poor, the root causes of poverty, and the effects of policy on poverty. This new edition also includes completely up to date data and extended discussions of poverty in the context of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements in addition to new chapters on the Great Recession and global poverty. In doing so this book provides the most latest information to be had on patterns and trends in poverty and engages in an open and accessible manner in current critical debates.
