AnnotationIn this critique of United States welfare policy since the 1960s - looking particularly at the Bush and Clinton administrations - the author demonstrates that how we study issues affects what ultimately gets done about them. He examines the drawing of the poverty line, the setting of benefit levels, the feminisation of poverty, homelessness, the underclass, welfare dependency, recent attempts to reform welfare, and implications for welfare of the emerging global post-industrial economy.
