Poverty and Austerity amid Prosperity puts a sharp focus on rising
levels of poverty and homelessness in Canada, the United Kingdom,
and the United States. Highlighting the important differences
between these countries, Gregg M. Olsen examines how poverty and
homelessness have been conceptualized, defined, measured, and
addressed in each country. Olsen critically contrasts the two main
theoretical traditions - individual and societal - that have
emerged to explain poverty and homelessness. Ultimately, he argues
that societal approaches to the study of poverty are better
equipped to explain the developments unfolding across these nations
and that the eradication of poverty will only happen when the
socioeconomic system has been seriously overhauled and founded upon
economic democracy.
