Summary

"Forcefully argued and clearly written. Teles seems outraged that the poor and their needs and desires are left out of the politicians' posturing, and he is striving to design a policy that really would be better for all concerned". -- Jennifer L. Hochschild, author of Facing Up to the American Dream. "Teles dramatizes the conflicts that make welfare hard to reform and shows why the issue cuts to the heart of American politics". -- Lawrence m. Mead, author of The New Politics of Poverty.
