Why Fight Poverty? : And Why it is So Hard, Paperback / softback Book

Why Fight Poverty? : And Why it is So Hard Paperback / softback

Part of the Perspectives series

Paperback / softback

Description

Poverty, and calls to end it, date back centuries. Even in prosperous modern times, despite the huge transformation of society, poverty has persisted.

The challenge is getting harder, not easier, because of more recent changes in society such as the social distance between people in poverty and others, changing family structures (and our mixed views about them) and changing community patterns.

The recent economic crisis seems set to leave us with a very different economy in which some may never work.

This book looks back at the struggle to rid the country of poverty and asks if the struggle is worth it. What would a poverty free country be like if we could overcome the obstacles which impede progress?
