For more than four decades, Hugh Segal has been one of the leading voices of progressive conservatism in Canada. A self-described Red Tory warrior who disdains “bootstrap” approaches to poverty, he has always promoted policies, especially a basic annual income, to help the most economically vulnerable. Why would a life-long Tory support something so radical? In this revealing memoir, Segal shares how his life and experiences brought him to this most unlikely of places, beginning with his childhood in a poor immigrant family in Montreal to his time as a chief of staff for Prime Minister Mulroney and to his more recent work as an advisor on a basic income pilot project for the Ontario Liberal government. This book is a passionate argument not only for why a basic annual income makes economic sense, but for why it is the right thing to do.

Описание: This book provides a theory and evidence to explain the initial decision of governments to adopt a conditional cash transfer program (the most prominent type of anti-poverty program currently in operation in Latin America), and whether such programs are insulated from political manipulations or not.
The problem of poverty is complicated; however, the author's study takes a creative approach to devise a solution. The approach is to divide poverty into transient and chronic. Chronic poverty consists of people who are trapped in poverty.
A surprising finding of the study was that chronic poverty nearly always has a single cause. This means, if we identify the cause, the problem can be simply and permanently solved.
There was another finding; that some causes of chronic poverty, when cured, significantly reduce transient poverty as well. That is where we come closest to accomplishing goal of the Great Society--to end poverty in America.
This book focuses on causes of chronic poverty. As you will learn, politicians are ignoring these problems.
The largest cause of chronic poverty in the United States is surprising. Its solution is a true ladder out of poverty for millions. The solution would consist of about a half page of legislation, which is offered in the book. What is stopping us?

Автор: Daniel Briggs, Ruben Monge Gamero Название: Dead-end lives: Drugs and violence in the city shadows ISBN: 1447341686 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781447341680 Издательство: Marston Book Services Цена: 99000.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: “Julia” nervously emerges from her shabby tent in the suburban wastelands on the outskirts of Madrid to face another day of survival in one of Europe’s most problematic ghettos: she is homeless, wanted by the police, and addicted to heroin and cocaine. She is also five months pregnant and rarely makes contact with support services. Welcome to the city shadows in Valdemingomez: a lawless landscape of drugs and violence where the third world meets the Wild West. Briggs and Monge entered this area with only their patience, some cigarettes and a mobile phone and collected vivid testimonies and images of Julia and others like her who live there. This important book documents what they found, locating these people's stories and situations in a political, economic and social context of spatial inequality and oppressive mechanisms of social control.

Poverty and Welfare in America: Examining the Facts, like every book in the Contemporary Debates series, is intended to puncture rather than perpetuate myths that diminish our understanding of important policies and positions; to provide needed context for misleading statements and claims; and to confirm the factual accuracy of other assertions.
This book clarifies some of the most contentious and misunderstood aspects of American poverty and the social welfare programs that have been crafted to combat it over the years. In addition to providing up-to-date data about the extent of American poverty among various demographic groups in the United States, it examines the chief causes of poverty in the 21st century, including divorce, disability, and educational shortfalls. Moreover, the book provides an evenhanded examination of the nation's social welfare agencies and the effectiveness of various social service programs managed by those agencies in addressing and reducing poverty.
