"At a time when the divide between the wealthy and the disadvantaged is widening, this textbook provides students with a critical understanding of poverty and social exclusion in relation to wealth, rather than as separate from it." "Raising fundamental questions about the organisation of society, social structures and relationships and social justice, the book is split into four main sections exploring key concepts and issues; 'people and place' (poverty and wealth across different groups and situations); the role of the state; and prospects for the future."--BOOK JACKET.
Industry Reviews
"This volume provides a timely and much-needed critical account of the inter-relationship between 'the problem of poverty' and 'the problem of riches'. Combining both conceptual, empirical and policy perspectives and a UK and global focus, it offers rich pickings for students and all who are concerned about poverty and inequality." Ruth Lister, Professor of Social Policy, Loughborough University, author of 'Poverty' (Polity, 2004)
