In a bold challenge to the conventional wisdom of both liberals and
conservatives, Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato
Institute, looks at the reasons for poverty in America and offers a
detailed agenda for increasing wealth, incomes, and opportunity.
The author argues that conservative critiques of a "culture of
poverty" fail to account for the structural circumstances in which
the poor live, especially racism, gender discrimination, and
economic dislocation. However, he also criticizes liberal calls for
fighting poverty through redistribution or new government programs.
Too much of contemporary anti-poverty policy focuses on making
poverty less miserable, and not enough on helping people get out of
poverty and becoming self-sufficient. The Inclusive Economy calls
for government to stop doing things that push people into poverty,
and provides a detailed roadmap to a new anti-poverty policy that
includes criminal justice reform, greater educational freedom,
housing deregulation, banking reform, and both increased and more
inclusive economic growth. The policies put forth in this title are
designed to empower poor people and allow them to take control of
their own lives.
