Críticas:

This volume explores social and political forces that conspire to allow poverty to continue unabated. At the simplest level, poverty's sheer invisibility keeps it off the national radar. That's why Professor Raphael's work is so necessary. Poverty and Policy in Canada will strengthen our struggle to make poverty visible, to thereby make it politically real, and ultimately to make poverty history

Reseña del editor:

This book provides a unique interdisciplinary perspective on poverty and its importance to the health and quality of life for Canadians. Central issues include: definitions of poverty and means of measuring it in wealthy nations such as Canada; causes of poverty -- both situational and societal; health and social implications of poverty for individuals, communities and society as a whole; and means of addressing the incidence of poverty and improving its effects.
