The Failure of the Neo-Liberal Approach to Poverty

Více o knize

Focusing on the Rochester Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI), the book critiques its effectiveness in combating poverty in Rochester, a city with one of the highest poverty rates in the U.S. Despite its establishment to address this issue, the initiative has seen little progress in five years. The analysis highlights how the organizational framework and neo-liberal welfare reforms contribute to its shortcomings. Using Rochester as a case study, the work offers insights into the broader implications of neo-liberal approaches to poverty, appealing to those in political science, urban studies, and public policy.
