Safety Nets, Politics and the Poor: Transitions to Market Economies, vol 71

Edited by Yelba Quinn ()

in Carol Graham from Economic Studies Program, The Brookings Institution

Abstract: Carol Graham argues that safety nets can provide an environment in which economic reform is more politically sustainable and poverty can be permanently reduced. However, these two objectives frequently involve trade-offs, as vocal and organized opponents of reform (for obvious political reasons) often concern governments far more than the poor.
