An "e;engrossing collection of rigorously researched articles"e; from Elizabeth Warren, Jared Bernstein, William Julius Wilson, and more (Publishers Weekly). Can the wealthiest nation in the world do anything to combat the steadily rising numbers of Americans living in poverty or the tens of millions of Americans living in "e;near poverty"e;? In this book, some of the country's most prominent scholars, businesspeople, and community activists answer with a resounding yes. Published in conjunction with one of the country's leading anti-poverty centers, Ending Poverty in America brings together respected social scientists, journalists, neighborhood organizers, and business leaders both liberal and conservative to tackle hot-button issues such as job creation, schools, housing, and family-friendly social policy, offering a template for a renewed public debate and a genuine effort to confront this urgent issue that undermines the long-term security of our nation.
