"Disciplining the Poor" lays out the underlying logic of
contemporary poverty governance in the United States. The authors
argue that poverty governance - how social welfare policy choices
get made, how authority gets exercised, and how collective pursuits
get organized - has been transformed in the United States by two
significant developments. The rise of paternalism has promoted a
more directive and supervisory approach to managing the poor. This
has intersected with a second development: the rise of
neoliberalism as an organizing principle of governance. Neoliberals
have redesigned state operations around market principles; to
impose market discipline, core state functions - from war to
welfare - have been contracted out to private providers. The
authors seek to clarify the origins, operations, and consequences
of neoliberal paternalism as a mode of poverty governance, tracing
its impact from the federal level, to the state and county level,
down to the differences in ways frontline case workers take
disciplinary actions in individual cases. The book also addresses
the complex role race has come to play in contemporary poverty
governance.
