This is a very balanced and informative study that provides an historical perspective on what has happened to poverty in the United States since its eradication first became a goal of public policy.

Confronting Poverty proposes thoughtful reforms in employment and training, child support, health care, education, welfare, immigration, and urban policies, all crafted from the successes, as well as the failures, of policies over the past three decades.
