POVERTY AMIDST AFFLUENCE

Vic George and Irving Howards

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Poverty is being rediscovered as a major issue in capitalist societies. The recent emphasis on economic growth is being superseded by a concern about the distribution of income and wealth and the large and ever increasing disparities between rich and poor. The authors argue that poverty amidst affluence is both economically and politically unacceptable.
