| Abstract
|
:
|
Brings together eight social policy analysts to introduce the reader to a major social policy issue: the processes which create and sustain persistent patterns of poverty and disadvantage. Although the contributors come from different disciplines, their research leads to a united call for a rethinking away from doom and gloom.
