Poverty and Power asserts that American poverty is a structural
problem resulting from failings in our social system rather than
individual failings of the poor. Contrary to the popular belief
that poverty results from individual deficiencies-that poor people
lack intelligence, determination, or skills-author Edward Royce
introduces students to the very real structural issues that stack
the balance of power in the United States. The book introduces four
systems that contribute to inequality in the U.S.-economic,
political, cultural, and structural-then discusses ten
institutional problems that make life difficult for the poor and
contribute to the persistence of poverty. Throughout the book, the
author compares individualistic and structural approaches to
poverty to assess strengths and limitations of each view. The
second edition of this provocative book has been revised throughout
with new statistical information, as well as analysis of the recent
recession, the Obama presidency, increasing political polarization,
the rise of the Tea Party and appearance of the Occupy Movement,
new anti-poverty movements, and more.
