| Abstract
|
:
|
The typical American household accumulates its assets in home equity and retirement accounts, both of which are subsidized through the tax system. But the poor, for the most part, do not participate in these asset accumulation policies. This book brings together scholars and experts on the topic of asset building, as this relates to public policy.
