Why the Poor Are Still with Us: I. The New Politics of the New Poverty.
Mead, Lawrence M.
Public Interest, n103 p3-20 Spr 1991
Discusses various viewpoints on poverty. Contrasts progressive-era politics with today's dependency politics. Differing views of the poor and the causes of poverty impede the implementation of the new paternalistic programs which have, in some places, begun to succeed. Urges a consensus. (DM)
