Applying lessons from history to the reality of poverty today in
the United States—the most affluent country in the world—this
book analyzes contributing factors to poverty and proposes steps to
relieve people affected by it. American history is replete with
efforts to alleviate poverty. While some efforts have resulted in
at least partial success, others have not, because poverty is a
multifaceted, complicated phenomenon with no simple solution.
Winning the War on Poverty studies the history of poverty relief
efforts in the United States dating to the nineteenth century,
debunking misperceptions about the poor and tackling the problem of
the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor. It highlights the
ideological differences between liberal and conservative beliefs
and includes insights drawn from a well-rounded group of
disciplines including political science, history, sociology,
economics, and public health. Premised on the idea that only the
lessons of history can help policymakers to recognize that the
United States has a persistent poverty problem that is much worse
than it is in many other democracies, the book suggests an 18-point
plan to substantively address this dilemma. Its vision for reform
does not pander to any particular ideology or political party;
rather, the objective of this book is to explain how the United
States can win the war on poverty in the short term.
