About This Item
Princeton, NJ, U.S.A.: Princeton University Press, 2002. Trade Paperback. As New. This book is an historical account of changes in the study of poverty, from a reformist inquiry into the political economy of industrial capitalism to the detached technical analysis of the demographic and behavioral characteristics of the poor; it shows that the study of poverty has become more about altering individual behavior and less about addressing structural inequality (black pictorial cover with yellow lettering and Alice Neel painting on the front; a bright, clean, tight copy in nearly perfect condition)
