Setting and Monitoring Poverty Standards: Drawing on the Parallel with Macroeconomics

Anthony Atkinson and Luigi Frey

Chapter 7 in Economic Theory and Social Justice, 1999, pp 193-211 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This paper has its origin in my concern to integrate consideration of economic and social policy. Economic and social issues are too often discussed in isolation, whereas they are deeply interconnected. We cannot separate economic and social policy. As I argue in the paper, macro-economic policy interacts with anti-poverty policy.
