"This book is a useful compendium of writings regarding the nature
of poverty. Each of the sections does an effective job of
discussing the traditional dimensions of poverty, such as
measurement, people versus place, economics versus personal
decisions, and policy responses. Readers will find the work useful
for understanding the nature of this social problem." -- CHOICE
"This book is a useful compendium of writings regarding the nature
of poverty. Each of the sections does an effective job of
discussing the traditional dimensions of poverty, such as
measurement, people versus place, economics versus personal
decisions, and policy responses. The hidden gem in this work,
however, is the last chapter, which deals with a new paradigm for
addressing poverty. Readers will find the work heavily academic but
useful for understanding
the nature of this social problem." --L. T. Grover, Southern
University and A&M College
