Book Reviews of Ending Poverty in America: How to Restore the American Dream
Book Review: Serious Study of Poverty and Strategies to Overcome It
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw the cover of this book, I thought it might be the usual book written by a candidate for office.
Instead, when I looked deeper I found a work containing articles by serious scholars and professionals who have studied the causes of poverty and inequality in the United States and who present credible solutions.
The book is edited by John Edwards, who has put together and excellent group of specialists on poverty representing a variety of disciplines ranging from law to social work and economics. This is a multidisciplinary look at a key issue often neglected by economists.
It is too bad that more of the ideas of John Edwards and the scholars writing this book will probably not become policy.
