| Annotation | The contribution made by American social scientists to the study of poverty in the past 25 years is examined in three parts. The first part concentrates of the measurement of poverty, and the fact that, despite increasingly important deficiencies, the US poverty line has remained unchanged. The second part traces the changes in emphasis in US writing about poverty. The final part considers the policy impact of American work on poverty policy beyond America. (RH). |
