A collection of suggestions for addressing poverty in the United States, each idea is presented in an easy-to-read non-nonsense description. The focus is on providing a potential solution, so very little time is spent describing, discussing or analyzing the problems.
Each chapter focuses on a different idea and those ideas include a Guaranteed Work Program (GWP), Targeted Community Centers, modification to the educational system, aggressive small business development and a new way of approaching home economics.
