Growth and poverty revisited

Elizabeth Powers

Economic Commentary, 1995, issue Apr

Abstract: An explanation of an alternative analysis of poverty based on consumption rather than on annual income, which disputes the documented breakdown in progress against poverty in the 1980s and concludes that the poor appear to benefit from a growing economy now as much as in previous decades.
