Description
For more than thirty years, students, scholars, and policymakers concerned with the alleviation of poverty have relied on successive editions of Sar A. Levitan's Programs in Aid of the Poor. Now, in conjunction with the eighth edition of that classic work, coauthors Garth Mangum, Stephen Mangum, and Andrew Sum offer a brief but comprehensive overview of the facts of poverty in the United States, its underlying causes, and the reasons for its persistence in the richest nation in the world. Providing a wealth of data and cogent analysis, this book can be used along with Programs for additional background or can stand on its own.Contents: 1. Defining and Measuring Poverty2. A Demographic Profile of the Nation's Poor3. The Changing Geographic Face of Poverty in the United States4. The Causes of Poverty5. Redefining Poverty and Its Consequences for America's Poor.
