Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. In our society, a
wealthy minority flourish, while around one-fifth experience
chronic poverty and many people on middle incomes fear for their
futures. Social policy has failed to find answers to these problems
and there is now a demand for a new narrative to enable us to
escape from the crisis in our society. With the aim of ending
poverty, this book argues that we need to start with the society we
want, rather than framing poverty as a problem to be solved. It
calls for a bold forward-looking social policy that addresses
continuing austerity, under-resourced organisations and a lack of
social solidarity. Based on a research programme carried out by the
Webb Memorial Trust involving leading organisations, academics,
community activists, children, and surveys of more than 12,000
people living in poverty, a key theme is power which shows that the
way forward is to increase people's sense of agency in building the
society that they want.
